Earlier in mid-August this year, a massive explosion occurred at a mosque during Wednesday evening prayers in Kabul, with eyewitnesses and police saying several people were feared dead and injured.

Police said there were several casualties, but did not say how many.

A Taliban intelligence official told Reuters that 35 people were reported injured or killed.

While Al Jazeera quoted an unidentified official as saying that 20 people were killed.

At the same time, in early August a top commander of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Umar Khalid Khorasani and three other prominent terrorists were killed in a mysterious blast in Paktika province of eastern Afghanistan.

This information was given in a news in Pakistani media on Monday.

The Express Tribune newspaper reported that according to Afghan officials and local sources, a vehicle carrying senior commanders of the terrorist organization, including Khurasani, was targeted with a mysterious explosive device on Sunday.
