TIRANA, April 22 – Thirty-three people are thought to have died in a blast at a mosque in Afghanistan’s Kunduz province, according to the Taliban as quoted by CNN and other media outlets.
Among the dead are children, according to Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid, while a further 43 people were injured in the explosion.
Mujahid said the blast took place during Friday players at the mosque in the Imam Sahib district of Kunduz province.
It comes a day after explosions also struck Kunduz, and another city, Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan. Separate explosions hit learning facilities in western Kabul on Tuesday, killing students.
A series of deadly blasts, mainly targeting the Hazara Shia community, have rocked several Afghan cities over the past week.
Most of this week’s attacks were claimed by ISIS affiliate group and Taliban rival ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K).
Nobody has yet claimed responsibility for Friday’s explosion. /Argumentum.al
