The four soldiers of the Macedonian Army, who sustained injuries over the weekend in a suicide bomb attack outside the ISAF headquarters in Kabul, are feeling well, said Defense Minister Zoran Konjanovski. Immediately after the incident, he talked to some of them on the phone, but refused to answer if the incident was going to directly affect the interest of Macedonian soldiers in participation in missions abroad.

The Ministry of Defense said the explosion occurred on Saturday at 8.40 local time while the soldiers were performing their regular duties within the NATO mission in Afghanistan. The Macedonian Army troops who suffered face bruises were given medical attention and because of their good condition returned to the execution of their regular tasks.
