An explosion hit a mosque in the city of Kunduz, capital of the eponymous province in northern Afghanistan, during Friday prayers, causing several deaths, according to witness accounts and a Taliban spokesman.
Images posted on social networks supposedly from the explosion this Friday show several people dead and injured, as well as men evacuating other people, including women and children, from the scene. There is still no confirmation on the number of victims. The local press speaks of “dozens dead”.
According to reports, the mosque is frequented by Muslims from the Shiite minority, who in the past have been targeted by Sunni extremists.
