According to the UN mission in Afghanistan, this is the third attack on a religious institution in Afghanistan in the last week, indicating a troubling pattern of violence.
In the previous week, a mosque in Kabul and a religious school in Khost’s eastern region were both assaulted.
Following the blast, videos and photographs from the mosque have surfaced, showing human parts scattered within the mosque as well as the structure’s debris.
Obaida speculated that the incident was executed out by a suicide bomber
The explosion occurred as members of the community gathered to deliver their weekly Friday prayers, which are considered the most important of the week.
In relation to the victims, Dost Mohammad Obaida, the deputy police officer for Kunduz province, said that “most of them had been killed.”
He speculated that the incident was executed out by a suicide bomber who intermingled among the mosque’s worshipers.
“I assure our Shiite brothers that the Taliban are prepared to ensure their safety,” According to Obaida, an investigation is currently in progress.
Terrorist assaults have increased; fatalities of dozens
A number of fatalities of dozens, if confirmed, would be the greatest since US and NATO forces departed Afghanistan at the end of August and the Taliban assumed charge.
Terrorist assaults by ISIL-affiliated militants have intensified since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in mid-August.
Terrorist assaults have increased, raising the risk of a larger battle between the two factions. A blast at a mosque in Kabul killed at least 12 people and injured 32 others earlier on Sunday. The incident occurred in a packed area of Kabul’s Eid Gah Mosque.
