An explosion occurred at a mosque in Kabul during evening prayers, injuring dozens, police say

Multiple media reports say that a large explosion occurred at a mosque in Afghanistan during evening prayers.

Police said at least three people were killed and dozens were injured. At least 27 people were wounded, including five children, and there were at least three deaths, according to Emergency, an Italian non profit.

It's not clear who was behind the explosion, which happened a year after the US military left Afghanistan.

The explosion happened in the Khair Khana area of Kabul, according to a Taliban intelligence official. The official said that the mosque's leader was among the dead.

"In the month of August alone, we managed six mass casualties in our hospital, with a total of almost 80 patients," said Sozza. We have continued to receive gunshot injuries, shrapnel injuries, stabbing injuries, and victims of my and IED explosions on a daily basis.

A long conflict has undermined the country's future.

One week ago, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing that killed an Afghan cleric.
