Kabul’s Diplomatic District Rocked by Rocket Attack (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - At least 10 people have been injured after multiple rockets were fired at Afghan capital’s main diplomatic district which houses foreign embassies, local media reported.
“Several rockets were fired from two vehicles,” Ministry of Interior spokesman Tariq Arian said on Tuesday, as cited by Reuters.
Photographs and videos show plumes of black smoke rising from the district as large booms can be heard in the distance. Workers in embassies were rushed to safe rooms during the barrage. One of the rockets landed inside the Presidential Palace, according to unconfirmed local media reports.
It’s not clear whether anyone has taken responsibility for the attack, which came a day before the nation celebrates Independence Day.
