The blast took place in Jahdia seminary in Aybak city of Samangan during the afternoon prayer, reported Tolo News. According to a doctor at Samangan Provincial Facility, this hospital has received at least 15 bodies and 27 injured patients. Tolo News confirmed this information.
A religious school in northern Afghanistan was struck by a bomb blast, according to a Taliban official, and at least 10 students were murdered.
According to local authorities, the explosion occurred during the afternoon prayer.
Several others were hurt, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Nafi Takor, in the blast in Aybak, the northern Samangan province’s capital.

Since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan after the overthrow of the US-backed civilian government last year, bombings and violent incidents have become commonplace.
