An explosion targeted a mosque in the Afghan capital on Sunday, leaving a “number of civilians dead,” a Taliban spokesman said. The blast struck near the entrance of the Eid Gah Mosque in Kabul, spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid revealed on Twitter. On Sunday afternoon, a prayer ceremony for Mujahid’s mother, who passed away last week was being held at the mosque. “Just ahead of the blast the Taliban had blocked the road to hold a prayer ceremony for Zabihullah Mujahid’s mother in Eid Gah Mosque”, an eye witness revealed. So far, there is no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
