Taliban eliminates IS-K hideout in Kabul after mosque attack

Kabul, Oct 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) Just hours after a suicide bombing in the Eid Gah mosque in Kabul killed several people, the Taliban eliminated a hideout belonging to the Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K) terror group, a media report said on Monday citing sources.

According to the sources, the hideout was located in the capital's northern suburb-Police District 17, said the Khaama Press report.

 

Besides destroying the hideout, the Taliban operation also led to the deaths of three people.

There has been conflicting reports on the number of casualties, ranging from five to 10.
