Global express freight conglomerate, DHL, has released a press statement in the wake of a shooting incident at the company’s office in Kabul Afghanistan.

Below is the statement in its entirety:

At approximately 8.30am (local time) today at a DHL office in Kabul, Afghanistan, an incident took place involving a shooting. It is with deep regret, that we have to report that there are fatalities, two of whom are DHL staff.

At this difficult time our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of those who have lost their lives under such tragic circumstances.

DHL is fully cooperating with authorities investigating the incident. In order not to hinder the investigation no further information can be released at this time.

DHL will issue a further statement as more information is available.
