An unidentified number of terrorists stormed a government building in Kabul on Monday and gunned down at least 43 people while another 10 are reportedly injured.The terrorists took civilians hostage on Monday afternoon and opened fire inside the government building . They engaged security personnel in a gun battle. This was held shortly after a suicide car bomb attack outside the Ministry of Public Works. Wahid Majrooh, the country's representative for Ministry of Public Health, confirmed the death toll on Tuesday morning but it is not so far known if all the attackers have been neutralized.

Local reports suggested that the timing of the attack was extremely ill-fated as the building was full of employees with scores of resorting to locking themselves in to stop the terrorists. Some of those injured were rescued and rushed to local hospitals.No one has so far claimed responsibility for the attacks but in recent times, government building have been often targeted by Taliban who are considered to be on the rise again. The latest decision of US President Donald Trump to pull out a substantial chunk of his troops in Afghanistan is also being seen as a condition that could help in Taliban's resurgence in the nation.
