At least 17 people have been killed and 34 others injured in an explosion at a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, according to officials. Just days ago, twin explosions claimed by Islamic State left dozens dead. The Sunday blast occurred in the eastern province of Khost while people were gathered after afternoon prayers, police spokesperson Basir Bina told Reuters, adding that the number of casualties could rise. The mosque is also being used as a voter registration center ahead of parliamentary elections which are due to take place in October.
