The situation in Afghanistan is getting more dangerous by the day, said Hrvoje Cvitanovic, the Croatian Ambassador to Turkey who also covers Afghanistan, adding he believes there is a real threat of terrorist attacks in the country.

Cvitanovic, who was attending a conference of Croatian diplomats in Zagreb, said that earlier in the day there was an attack outside Kabul Airport and three people had died.

We still do not know who is behind the incident, he added.

The situation is more than complicated, and it is changing not by the hour but by the minute, the ambassador explained.

An estimated 30,000 people are around and within Kabul Airport, struggling to find a way out of the country, and he warned he believes there is a threat of terrorist attacks.

The governments of the USA, Australia, and the U.K. warned their citizens to avoid travelling to the airport in the Afghan capital as they fear that lethal attacks on the Kabul airport could be imminent.

There are no more Croatian nationals in Afghanistan and the embassy in Ankara is in contact with Croatians in neighbouring countries.
