Kabul: Several rockets were fired at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, but were intercepted by a missile defense system. The rockets had been fired from a vehicle in north Kabul.
Earlier on Sunday, the US carried out a drone attack in the city. The US forces targeted a suicide bomber in a vehicle who was aiming to attack the airport. This was the second air strike by the US forces since a suicide bomber struck the airport on Thursday, killing 13 US soldiers and several civilians.
