At least 10 people were killed in an attack by unidentified armed men in a mosque in Baghlan province, in northern Afghanistan, Taliban government sources confirmed to EFE this Saturday.

The attack in the Nahrin district of Baghlan, northern Afghanistan, took place on Thursday night, according to Taliban government deputy spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat.

“Unfortunately, before last night (Thursday night) in a mosque and on a pilgrimage during the night, ten people who stayed for worship were killed by strangers,” he said.

Sufi communities in Afghanistan often spend nights in mosques as a worship practice.

Research to identify the authors

Fitrat assured that investigations are being carried out to identify and bring the perpetrators to justice for this “horrible incident,” for which no armed group has claimed authorship.

“The Islamic Emirate strongly condemns this terrible act and considers it an unforgivable crime,” added Fitrat, who blames extremist groups.

“This act was committed by those extremist groups that have no respect for the blood of other Muslims,” he condemned.

In the last three years, since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, ISIS-Khorasan, the Afghan branch of the jihadist group Islamic State- has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on minorities and members of the Taliban, becoming the country’s greatest security threat.

Minority groups such as the Hazara Shiite community and Sufi practitioners have been frequent targets of violence by extremist groups that try to impose a rigid interpretation of Islam.

The Taliban de facto government has insistently denied that the Islamic State is a security threat to Afghanistan or any other country, while the regime’s secrecy and iron controls on the press have cut off the flow of information on the country’s security situation.

The Ukrainian army attacked the port of Berdiansk, in the Sea of Azov, with missiles on Saturday, according to the pro-Russian authorities of the Zaporyy region today.

“The enemy perpetrated an attack with guided missiles against the port of Berdiansk. The fires caused by the impact have been suffocated,” reported the governor imposed by Moscow, Yevgueni Balitski, on his Telegram channel.

The governor, who was recently received in Moscow by Russian President Vladimir Putin, stressed that the attack did not cause injuries among the civilian population and did not interrupt the work of the port facilities.

In turn, he assured that anti-aircraft defenses continue to be on maximum alert, since new Ukrainian attacks against the city are not ruled out.

At the end of October Kiev had already attacked the strategic port under Russian control since 2022 with a dead old woman.

The Russian army controls more than 70% of Zaporiyia and tries to take control of the rest of the region as it advances at forced marches in neighboring Donetsk.

North Korean soldiers in the Belgorod region, according to Ukraine

Ukraine claims that North Korean soldiers, who until now were only in the Russian region of Kursk, were also transferred to Belgorod, which borders the northeastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv.

“Some soldiers from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea were transferred to the border of the Belgorod region,” the head of the Central Intelligence Department of the National Security and Defense Council, Andrí Kovalenko, wrote on Telegram.

The senior Ukrainian official stressed that “they are not in the Kharkiv region,” as some US media had reported based on Ukrainian sources.

The Kremlin rules out a second onde of mobilization

For its part, the Kremlin today ruled out a second wave of mobilization of reservists to fight in Ukraine with a view to the fourth year of fighting in the neighboring country.

“Our citizens very actively sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense,” Dmitri Peskov, presidential spokesman, told the official agency RIA Novosti.

Peskov stressed that volunteers carry out courses in which they are instructed “consciously,” so “now there is no need to talk about mobilization.”

“There are many, hundreds who sign contracts every day,” he added.

The Kremlin has refrained from declaring a new partial mobilization after the first one in September 2022 caused great popular discontent and the exodus of hundreds of thousands of military-age men.

1,000 days of combat

Fighting in Ukraine reached 1,000 days this week with Russian forces advancing in forced marches in the Donbas, although Moscow has not yet been able to expel Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region.

Ukraine hopes to slow down the current Russian offensive with Western authorization to use American and British long-range missiles against targets in Russian territory, which Kiev used against the Bryansk and Kursk regions.

Russia responded on Thursday by launching an Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile at an arms factory in the Ukrainian region of Dnipro.

In addition, on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that there will be more launches and announced the mass production of those new generation missiles capable of circumventing any Western missile shield.

The number of people killed after the attack by the Israeli Armed Forces, in the early hours of Saturday, against an eight-story building in the center of Beirut rose to 20, while another 66 were injured, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health updated in a new statement.

The ministry issued a fourth balance sheet of victims, in which it reported on the new number of people killed and injured in the attack against the area located in the capital’s Basta neighborhood.

According to the statement, volunteers and rescue teams continue to search for survivors with excavators and heavy equipment that clear the debris where they claim to have found “a large number of body parts.”

According to the Lebanese National News Agency (ANN), “a deep crater remained after the use of bunker bombs.”

The attack in that area of the city center occurred in the early morning, after Israeli Army planes intensified their actions against different parts of Lebanon, with special emphasis on Tyre and other southern areas, as well as in Baalbek-Hermel, in the northeast of the country.

In Friday’s attacks alone, counts by Lebanese health authorities speak of 25 people killed throughout the country and another 58 who were injured.

The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said in its report on Saturday that Israeli aggressions since the beginning of the conflict have caused the death of at least 3,670 people and left 15,413 injured.

At least two dead in an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon

In southern Lebanon, at least two people died in an attack perpetrated by an Israeli drone while driving motorcycles in the town of Tora, near the city of Tyre, capital of the demarcation of southern Lebanon that has suffered constant bombing since last night until this morning, official sources reported.

The Lebanese National News Agency (ANN) reported on Saturday that “Israeli attacks intensified against the towns of the Tyre and Ben Ybeil areas from last night until this morning” and detailed that “unmanned aviation bombed the town of Tora targeting two motorcycles causing two fatalities.”

Israel blames Hizbulá for the attack on the FINUL post

“Hezbulá fired a series of rockets from Deir Qanun that hit and damaged a FINUL post in the Shamaa area, in southern Lebanon, and injured several soldiers stationed there,” a military statement said today.

The Israeli Army also accused the Shiite group, with which it has been waging war for more than a year, of having attacked last Tuesday with projectiles that same FIUL post in Shamaa and another in Ramyeh.
