Worth noting that this is likely an ISKP attack and it comes after over a week of sustained ISKP propaganda targeting India, Hindus along with the Taliban regime. Just few days ago ISKP's al-Azaim Foundation had released a 55-page booklet targeting India/Hindus & Taliban. 
Same pattern followed in ISKP's Voice of Khurasan magazine:

And same pattern was followed with the Pushto language Khurasan Ghag magazine, also a publication of ISKP's Al-Azaim Foundation:

And then there was an ISKP al-Azaim Foundation video, which also targeted India/Hindus and Taliban:

But at the same time it's also important to note that just yesterday there was also a mosque explosion in Kunduz, which remains unclaimed but is likely the work of ISKP cell. So mosques are also being targeted in Afghanistan.
