In Afghanistan, at least seven people were killed in an attack during Friday prayers. More than 17 believers were also injured, the broadcaster Tolonews reported on Friday on X, formerly Twitter, citing a local official. Tolonews spoke of a suicide attack on the prayer site in the northeastern province of Baghlan. The terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the attack.
Since the militant Islamist Taliban came to power in August 2021, armed attacks in the country have declined significantly. Nevertheless, deadly attacks by extremists continue to occur. A regional branch of IS is also active in the country.
