At least 25 Afghan civilians were wounded when a bomb ripped through a crowd of worshippers waiting for food to break their Ramadan fast inside a mosque compound in northern Afghanistan, officials said.

The violence comes a day after a suicide attacker killed 33 people in one of the deadliest day for civilians this year, as terrorist’s ramp up violence across the country.

The bombing, which took place in the city of Puli Khumri, capital of Afghanistan’s Baghlan province, came as worshippers had finished their evening prayers in a local mosque and were waiting for meals, provided by the local government, to break their fast.
