Rockets hit residential area in the Afghan capital

KABUL, 24 July 2018 [Fik/News Sources]: At least three people were wounded in the Afghan capital Kabul on Tuesday as multiple rockets firing from an unknown direction hit a residential area, an official confirmed.

Hashmat Stanikzai, spokesman for the Afghan National Police (ANP) in Kabul, told Anadolu Agency the rockets landed in the city’s Afshar area, wounding at least three people. The rockets hit a residential home and a cemetery, he said.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility.

The attack comes just two days after a deadly suicide bombing in the city killed 27 people, mostly civilians.

The Daesh terrorist group took responsibility for a suicide blast close to Hamid Karzai International Airport minutes after Abdul Rasheed Dostum, the vice president, arrived from over a year of self-imposed exile in Turkey.
