According to @aamajnews24, 31 people were killed& 87 more wounded in the #Shia mosque #explosion in #Mazar-e Sharif today. #Taliban downplaying the threat of ISKP, but the group was behind several deadly attacks in Afghanistan, since the Taliban took over the government in Kabul.
Spinghar News meanwhile reported about the explosions in Kunduz& Nangarhar.
In Kunduz, at least 4 people were killed& more than a dozen wounded.
In Khogyani District of #Nangarhar, 4 #Taliban were reportedly killed& one more wounded as a result of explosion against their vehicle.

"Caliphate soldiers managed to bring a bag of explosives inside a large worship place of #Shias in #Mazar-e Sharif, in northern AFG. After the mosque was crowded with the Shias, the bag was detonated at them from a distance, killing & wounding more than 100 Rafidah."
Update about #Kunduz#explosion:
The vehicle of the airport employees, was targeted in the exlosion. #ISKP claimed responsibility for the IED explosion in Kunduz, adding that "About 20 apostates working in Kunduz Airport were killed& wounded in the blast."
Similar to former Republic Government, #Taliban are condemning the attacks against civilians in #Afghanistan.
It didn't help by then& I am sure, it will not help now.
As far as religion is used for justification of killings, this story will not end in AFG.
#ISKP claimed responsibility for Thursday's explosion in Nangarhar:
"As part of the battle of revenge for the 2 Sheikhs, Caliphate soldiers detonated an explosive device on a #Taliban vehicle, in the #Khogyani district of Nangarhar, which killed 4 TB members&wounded a commander."
