The explosion, the authorship of which has not been claimed, was recorded on the evening prayer day in the capital’s Khair Khana district.
An explosion recorded during evening prayers in the Khair Khana district of Kabul left at least 30 people dead and injured on Wednesday. The attack, which has not been claimed, is said to have claimed the lives of at least three people, according to the preliminary balance released last night by the Italian NGO Emergency, which also reported that another 27 had to be taken to hospital. Meanwhile, in statements to the Qatari chain Al-Yasira, a member of the security forces increased the death toll to 20, including the temple’s imam.
The Taliban regime, through one of its spokesmen, Zabihulá Muyahid, condemned the event and promised to prosecute those responsible. Afghanistan continues to be regularly hit by attacks, most of which are claimed by the country’s affiliate of the Islamic State terrorist group. Last week, a prominent cleric close to emirate authorities was killed in a suicide bombing.
The attack on the mosque in the Khair Khana district, one of the neighborhoods with the largest Shia presence of the Hazara ethnic group, comes two days after the Taliban celebrated the anniversary of their return to power, two decades after the overthrow of their first regime.
