This police official also said that the intensity of the explosion was such that damage was also caused to the mosque in the area of ​​the police headquarters. This ground attack took place during the Friday prayer and raised concerns about the possibility of an increase in the number of victims.

A doctor told the German news agency that more than 50 injured people were taken to a nearby hospital.
