The blast took place in Wazir Akbar Khan, an area formerly part of the city’s “neutral zone” and home to many foreign embassies and NATO offices, but now controlled by the ruling Taliban.

“After the prayer, when worshipers were leaving the mosque, the explosion occurred. All the victims are civilians, their exact number is not yet known,” said Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran.

The blast is the latest in a series of deadly attacks on mosques during Friday prayers in recent months.

The Islamic State organization claimed responsibility for some of them.
