On 25 March 2020, assailants armed with guns and suicide bombs attacked the Gurdwara Har Rai Sahib Gurdwara temple in Kabul, Afghanistan.[1][2] Twenty-five Sikh worshippers were killed and 8 wounded, before all assailants were killed by responding security forces.[3] Islamic State has claimed responsibility.[4]
Attack[edit]
The attackers stormed the temple, entering a sanctuary area where worshippers were praying. They opened fire on the people. Afterwards, the attackers took hostages inside of the building, exchanging fire with security forces. All attackers were killed and at least 80 hostages freed after a shootout that lasted several hours.[3][5]
