The Anews reported that Afghan officials said, an explosion rocked a mosque in central Kabul during prayer time on Wednesday (6 Apr) , injuring at least six people.

It mentioned that the blast was the second in a week in the Afghan capital, after another tore through the main money exchange centre, killing one person and injuring dozens.

According to a spokesman for Kabul's military commander, Wednesday's explosion occurred after someone threw a grenade at the mosque, and one person had been arrested.

The Anews said that the attacks have hit the capital after a relative lull in violence over the cold winter months.
