Scores of people have been killed in a day of violence in Afghanistan after suicide bombers detonated in two mosques in different parts of the country.
In the Imam Zamam mosque in the capital, Kabul, an attacker walked into the building and detonated his explosives, killing 30 people and hurting 45, a security official said.
Isis has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
Photos emerged on social media showing the aftermath of the blast, and the bodies of the dead were covered in rugs by bystanders.
Eyewitness Ali Mohammad told AP the mosque was packed with worshippers, both men and women praying at the height of the Muslim week.
The explosion was so strong that it shattered windows on nearby buildings, he said.
Local residents who rushed to the scene to help the victims were overcome with anger and started chanting, "Death to Isis", a reference to the Islamic State group which has staged similar attacks on Shiite mosques in recent months.
Shortly afterwards, another blast was took place in a Sunni mosque in the Dolaina district of the northwestern Ghor province, killing 33 people.
The intended target is believed to have been a local warlord.
The two bombings followed a wave of violence in the country.
On Thursday, at least 58 Afghan security forces personnel were killed across the country in a coordinated Taliban attack.
Army compounds and police stations were targeted and a base in Kandahar province was nearly overrun, according to officials.
The Kabul attack is being seen as the latest in a round of violence which has been committed against the country's Shia minority.
A UN report, released this week, claimed at least 84 Shia people have been killed and 194 wounded this year, as extremists have targetted their mosques and religious ceremonies.
