    An explosion rocks the mosque of the Afghan Interior Ministry.

An explosion that blasted the mosque of the Afghan Interior Ministry in Kabul killed 5 and injured 25 more, according to Abdul Nafi Takor, the ministry's spokesperson. 

The capital's emergency hospital previously divulged that 2 died, and 20 were injured. An investigation is ongoing, and more details on how the killing occurred will be released later, according to the spokesman.

The explosion, according to a source to Sputnik, occurred during prayer time and it is not clear yet whether or not high-ranking officials were targeted in the explosion. 

Bombings in Afghanistan have been on the rise, devastating hundreds of civilians. As of recent, according to the United Nations mission in the country on Monday, the death toll from a suicide bombing that occurred at a girls' school in the Afghan capital last week had increased to at least 43.

The bomber detonated as hundreds of students were gathered ahead of an entrance exam for university admissions.

The Taliban authorities have so far said 25 people were killed and 33 others were wounded in the attack.

Following the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan last year, a two-decade war against the Western-backed government came to an end, and there was a dramatic drop in bloodshed. However, security has started to deteriorate recently.
