MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to Spiegel newspaper, the consulate building cannot be restored, while some of its parts could collapse.

On October 10, an attack on the German consulate in northern Afghanistan left six people dead and over 120 wounded. A suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden truck into the walled compound in Mazar-i-Sharif, dealing huge damage to the building and triggering a firefight between gunmen and security forces. Neither German nor Afghan staffers of the general consulate had been injured.

Camp Marmal is the largest military base of the Bundeswehr outside of Germany, which is located in Northern Afghanistan and hosts more than 5,000 soldiers.
