The Great Mosque of Khost (Pashto: د خوست لوی جماعت), or simply the Khost Mosque, is the largest mosque in the city of Khost, in southeastern Afghanistan. It can hold up to 2,000 worshipers during any prayer.[1][2]
The city of Khost has a number of other smaller mosques, including the Yaqoubi Mosque that was attacked in May 2018, caused by explosives left in the mosque.[3][4]
