KABUL: A blast that tore through a Kabul mosque during evening prayers on Wednesday (Aug 17) killed 21 people, Kabul police said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Khalid Zadran said that another 33 people had been injured in the blast.<\/p>\n

Witnesses had told Reuters the powerful explosion was heard in a northern Kabul neighbourhood, shattering windows in nearby buildings.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast and authorities did not publicly assign blame.<\/p>\n

The Taliban say they are restoring security to the war-torn country, which has seen an overall drop in violence since the group took over and defeated a US-backed government a year ago. However, several large attacks, some claimed by Islamic State, have taken place in urban centres in recent months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
