A large explosion hit a Shiite mosque in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar on Friday, killing at least 32 people, officials said.

The blast occurred at the Imam Bargah mosque in the center of the city during Friday prayers, which typically draws large crowds of worshippers.

Photographs posted by journalists on social media had shown many people apparently dead or seriously wounded on the floor of the mosque.
