62 killed, 68 injured as blast hits Afghan mosque in Kandahar-UPDATED-1

Three suicide attacs happened in Afghanistan 

A large explosion tore through a Shi'ite mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar during Friday prayers, killing at least 62 people and wounding 68, officials said, the second massive attack in a week targeting worshippers from the minority sect, Qazet.az reports citing Jakarta Post.

A local reporter in Kandahar told Reuters that eyewitnesses had described three suicide attackers, one of whom blew himself up at the entrance to the mosque with the two others detonating their devices inside the building.

"The situation is very bad. Mirwais hospital is messaging and calling on young people to give blood," he said, referring to a local hospital where dead and injured had been taken.
