The ISIS group claimed responsibility for an attack at a mosque in Oman, the group said on Tuesday, which left at least nine people dead, including three attackers.

Three suicide attackers from ISIS attacked last night a gathering of worshippers while they were practicing their annual rituals at a temple in the Wadi al-Kabir district in the (Omani) capital, according to group's statement, which cited three security sources.

The ISIS fighters fired on worshippers and exchanged gunfire with Omani security forces until morning, the statement added.

ISIS late on Tuesday published what it said was a video of the attack on its Telegram site.

Oman police and military and security forces announced on Tuesday that they had completed procedures in the incident.
