KABUL – The number of people killed by an explosion that ripped through a mosque in Kabul during evening prayers yesterday has risen to 30, with more than 40 people injured, a Sputnik correspondent reported, citing a source.

The list of the victims include famous religious scholar Amir Mohammad Kabali.

No terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

The Taliban claims it has full control of Afghanistan but the Islamic State (IS) terror group continues carrying out attacks on civilians and police across the country.

Two weeks ago, two deadly blasts in Kabul took the lives of 10 people, injuring 40 others. According to media, IS claimed responsibility for both attacks. – Bernama, August 18, 2022
