On June 15, 2017, three suicide bombers entered a mosque in Dasht-e-Barchi during evening prayers and began firing on worshippers. As security forces surrounded the area and entered the mosque, one of the assailants detonated his explosive vest, while security forces neutralized the other two. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least 6 civilians and left 10 others injured. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-Khorasan Province (ISIL-KP) claimed responsibility for the attack, citing the targeting of the Hazara-Shia communities.
