Aug. 17 (EUROPA PRESS) –
At least 27 people have been injured by an explosion recorded this Wednesday in a mosque in Kabul, according to a provisional balance of victims released by an NGO.
A spokesman for the Kabul Police, Khalid Zadran, explained to the DPA agency that the incident, which occurred in the Kotal-e-Khairkhana area, coincided with the evening prayer, so the local media anticipate that there may be a large number of victims.
The NGO Emergency has reported on Twitter that 27 people have been transferred to its hospital, five of them children, while the Taliban have not spoken to offer an official balance.
Afghanistan continues to suffer attacks on a regular basis, mostly claimed by the affiliate in the country of the Islamic State terrorist group. Last week, a prominent Taliban-affiliated cleric was killed in a suicide attack.
Precisely this Monday, August 15, the first anniversary has been celebrated since the Taliban took power again, two decades after the overthrow of their first regime.
