A suicide bomber has killed at least 100 at a Shi'ite mosque in northern Afghanistan after a string of ISIS-K attacks as the country descends further into chaos in the wake of the US withdrawal.

Scores more victims from the minority community were wounded in the blast, which has not been claimed but appears designed to further destabilise Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban takeover.
