Moscow, Aug 27 :Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday said Russia “condemns in the strongest possible terms” the twin suicide bombings — claimed by the Islamic State group — on crowds trying to flee Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

“Unfortunately, the pessimistic forecasts that entrenched terrorist groups, especially ISIS, will not fail to take advantage of the chaos in Afghanistan, are being confirmed,” Peskov told reporters.
