A Huge Explosion has Shattered a Mosque in the Afghan Capital Kabul.

A huge explosion has shattered a mosque in the Afghan capital Kabul.

NGO Emergency said the blast is thought to have occurred during evening prayers, killing at least three people and injuring dozens more.

The Taliban’s Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran, was quoted by local media as saying there had been an explosion in the city’s north-west, with report stating that the Siddiqi mosque’s Imam was among the dead.

It is unclear who was behind the attack, which comes the week after a prominent pro-Taliban cleric was killed in a suicide bomb blast, in Kabul which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility of.
