A suicide blast ripped through a Shia mosque in northern Afghanistan Friday, killing and injuring at least 100 people, a UN agency said.

The attack occurred during Friday prayers at the Sayed Abad mosque in Kunduz, provincial spokesman Matiullah Rohani told CNN.

Friday's mosque bombing"is part of a disturbing pattern of violence" and the third deadly attack this week"apparently targeting a religious institution," the UN mission in Afghanistan said on Twitter. The Islamic State affiliate IS Khorasan claimed responsibility for Monday's bombing, one of a series of attacks the terror group has launched since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan more than a month ago. Others include a suicide attack at Kabul's airport in August and a spate of bombings targeting members of the Taliban in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad.
