The Kabul Tribune (KT) — Four people were killed and three others injured in an armed attack on a mosque in northern Afghanistan’s Baghlan province, Taliban officials said.
Sher Ahmad Burhani, a Taliban police spokesperson in Baghlan, said the incident took place Monday evening, April 13, 2026, during evening prayers at a mosque in Khwaja Hijran district.
According to him, armed individuals opened fire on worshippers, causing heavy casualties.
Preliminary investigations indicate the attack stemmed from a family dispute and personal enmity, Burhani added.
