At least 26 dead and 50 others wounded following a blast that hit a base of the Afghan army, officials say.
An explosion has ripped through a mosque inside an army base in Afghanistan's volatile eastern Khost province, killing and wounding dozens of soldiers.
The explosion targeted members of the 2nd regiment of the Afghan national army as they held their Friday prayers inside the base.
Abdullah, an Afghan military spokesperson, was quoted as saying by The Associated Press news agency that the death toll from the explosion stood at 27 soldiers. The blast wounded 57 others, Abdullah, who like many Afghans uses only one name, added.
