An explosion has occurred inside a Taliban-run jihadist seminary in Nangarhar province, resulting in multiple casualties.
The blast took place on Thursday, January 8, at the Seraj-ul-Emarat building, according to local sources.
Witnesses report that a child is among the victims. Taliban forces have cordoned off the area, preventing access and keeping the exact number of casualties unclear.
No group has claimed responsibility yet, but the region has historically been a hotspot for attacks by the IS-K group against Taliban targets. The incident underscores continuing security challenges in eastern Afghanistan.
