PM Narendra Modi voices concern over attack on guesthouse in Kabul

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight expressed concern over gunmen storming a guesthouse popular with foreigners in Kabul and prayed for everyone's safety.

"In the aircraft I got news about the attack in Kabul. Am concerned about the situation & I pray for everyone's safety," Modi tweeted as he boarded Air India One here for China on a three-day visit.

"Three to four gunmen entered Park Palace guesthouse in the evening," a senior Afghanistan security official told AFP in Kabul.

Several people were reportedly trapped inside the guesthouse as the Taliban press on with their annual spring offensive.
