The Egyptian foreign ministry in a statement on Friday affirmed its solidarity against violence and terrorism.

Region’s Islamic State affiliate (ISIS-K) claimed responsibility for the attack that occurred during the noon prayers, killibg at least 50 people and wounding dozens, according to hospital sources.

ISIS-K’s announcement said the blast targeted Shiites and the Taliban personnel, according to the ISIS-linked Aamaq news agency.

“[Egypt] expresses its deep condemnation and denunciation of the terrorist bombing that targeted a mosque in the Afghan province of Kunduz, killing and wounding dozens of innocent people,” the foreign ministry statement read.

The country also extended “sincere condolences” to the Afghan people and the families of the victims of this “brutal terrorism,” wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

“Egypt reiterates its solidarity in order to combat the phenomenon of terrorism, violence and extremism with all their forms and manifestations,” the statement added.

Taking over the country in August, the Taliban have carried out operations against Islamic State cells in Kabul. The country has recently witnessed attacks on a mosque in Kabul and a religious school in eastern Khost province.
