Rockets strike near NATO base in Afghanistan, no casualties reported

Two rockets have struck near the headquarters of the NATO military mission in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, with no reports of casualties.

Afghan security officials said the attack took place close to Resolute Support headquarters in Shashdarak area of Kabul at around 6 a.m. local time (01:30 am GMT) on Saturday.

Reports said alarms could be heard at the headquarters of the NATO base as well as several foreign embassies in the area.

The incident is the latest in a string of terror attacks on civilian and military targets, which have left nearly 200 people dead and scores of others injured over the past days.

On Friday, Daesh Takfiri terrorist group targeted two mosques, one in the western district of Dasht-e-Barchi in Kabul and the other in the central province of Ghor, leaving nearly 90 civilians martyred.

A day earlier, Taliban militants had killed over 40 Afghan soldiers when they attacked a military base in the southern province of Kandahar.

The militant outfit had also carried out two coordinated attacks against police posts in the Afghan provinces of Paktia and Ghazni last Tuesday, leaving some 80 people dead and nearly 300 others wounded.
