An explosion inside a mosque in north-east Afghanistan has killed 11 people and injured 30.
Reports say several local Taliban officials were among those killed or wounded.
A local official said the blast happened during a prayer service for the deputy governor of Badakhshan province, who was killed by a car bomb earlier this week.
The Islamic State militant group said it carried out the car bomb attack.
Thursday’s explosion happened at 11:00 local time in the provincial capital, Faizabad.
