A suicide bomb went off in a mosque in Kunduz province, northeastern Afghanistan. The act of terrorism killed and wounded over 100 people during Friday prayers, according to a UN agency. 

"Initial information indicates more than 100 people killed and injured in a suicide blast inside the mosque," the United Nations' mission to Afghanistan said in a tweet.

Videos shared on social media showed the horrors and aftermath of the act of terrorism: blood, bodies, and debris in the air. 

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
