The Duke of Sussex described the attack on workers of the Halo Trust, a British humanitarian charity supported by his late mother, as an “act of barbarism”.
Gunmen shot dead 10 charity workers and injured 16 others in the northern Baghlan province on Tuesday night.
Harry said: “In all, 26 members of The Halo Trust’s Afghanistan team were killed or injured on Tuesday night in what was nothing less than an act of barbarism.
“I honour those who have been lost and encourage support for the survivors and the families of those affected. Those who work for Halo in Afghanistan face risks every day to remove the lasting- and still deadly -scars of war and conflict.
“The men who were attacked come from the very communities in which they work. They joined Halo to protect and restore their country and their homes.
“As I understand it, the deminers who lost their lives were also protecting their friends. These workers put their lives on the line every day to make the world a safer place.
“This brutal act reminds us that we must stand in solidarity with humanitarian aid workers and the communities they serve.”
