At least 10 people were killed after a gunman opened fire on Sufis who were taking part in a weekly ritual at a shrine in a remote area of Afghanistan's Nahrin district.

"A man fired on Sufis taking part in a weekly ritual at a shrine in a remote area of Nahrin district, killing ten people," the interior ministry's Abdul Matin Qani told AFP News Agency.
Till now no one has taken the responsibility of the attack.

The Taliban took over the country on August 15 2021 and vowed to restore security to the war-torn nation. Attacks have continued, many of them claimed by the local arm of the militant Islamic State (IS) group.

Earlier, in September, 14 people were killed and six others injured in an attack claimed by IS in central Afghanistan.
