Faizabad, Afghanistan, June 8 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Jun, 2023 ) :At least 11 people were killed and 30 wounded by a blast Thursday at a funeral service for an Afghan acting provincial governor assassinated by a suicide bomber earlier this week, the ministry of interior said.
"The Ministry of Interior of the IEA condemns this brutality of the disgraced enemies," a statement said of the blast, which happened at a service for Nisar Ahmad Ahmadi in Faizabad, capital of Badakhshan province.

Thursday's blast happened at the Nabawi mosque in Faizabad as "a great number of compatriots" had gathered for Ahmadi's funeral, the interior ministry said.
