Blast hits mosque in Afghanistan's capital in the vicinity of the heavily fortified interior ministry compound, killing at least two people and wounding 18
The blast comes after a suicide bombing on Friday killed 53 people in a Kabul classroom, including 46 girls and women , according to the UN.
Ministry spokesman Abdul Nafy Takor said the explosion took place "in a mosque which is at a distance from the ministry of interior, where visitors and some of the employees of the ministry pray". Witnesses said the attacker blew himself up in the women's section of a gender-segregated classroom of a study hall in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood -- an enclave of the historically oppressed Shia Hazara community.
