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. The cause of the bombing was an improvised explosive device that had been hidden inside the mosque prior to the bombing.[1] [2] It 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.
The United Arab Emirates condemned the attack as a terrorist action.[4]
