A suicide bombing ripped through a Shi'ite mosque in northern Afghanistan on Friday, killing at least seven worshippers, a government official said.
"A blast has taken place at a Shi'ite mosque," the official, Mawlawi Hashimi, told Reuters in Baghlan province where the incident took place.
Seven people were killed during prayer and another 15 suffered injuries, he said.
The Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the attack.
