On 25 May 2022, at least 5 people were killed when the Hazrat Zakaria Mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan, was bombed. At least 17 others were injured. An improvised explosive device hidden inside the mosque[1][2] detonated during the Maghrib prayers.[3]
An anonymous Taliban official told reporters that at least fourteen were killed, including the imam. This has not yet been verified.[1] The same day, at least nine were killed in three bombings which targeted minivans in Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh Province.[2]
The United Arab Emirates condemned the attack as a terrorist action.[4]
