Kabul: A rocket landed at India House, the residence of Indian ambassador Manpreet Vohra, in Kabul on Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of any casualty.

Apart from the Indian ambassador, other mission staff also stay inside the premises.

"No injury reported so far," a source in New Delhi told PTI.

The incident happened at about 11:15 am, according to local reports. The rocket landed on the tennis court of the guesthouse in the compound in Green Zone area of the city. Sirens and warnings of "incoming" missiles sounded in a number of embassies, followed by a dull thump as the rocket exploded.

Notoriously inaccurate, rockets are an occasion fired into the city, often towards the fortified downtown area that houses not only the Indian embassy, but a number of other foreign delegations, the headquarters of the international military mission, and Afghan government ministries.

The attack comes amid extremely tight security in the capital following last week's deadly explosions that claimed over 150 lives and coincides with the launch of the Kabul Process meeting on Tuesday morning.

Representatives from at least 23 countries, including India, are participating in the meeting aimed at establishing peace in the country.

In March last year, the Indian consulate in Afghanistan's Jalalabad city was attacked by terrorists, leading to the death of nine people.

Insecurity in Afghanistan has continued to spiral as the forces, beset by soaring casualties and desertions, are struggling to beat back the insurgents. More than one third of the country is outside government control.

Afghan troops are backed by US and NATO forces, and the Pentagon has reportedly asked the White House to send thousands more troops to the country to break the deadlocked fight against the Taliban.

US troops in Afghanistan number about 8,400 today, and there are another 5,000 from NATO allies, who also mainly serve in an advisory capacity — a far cry from the US presence of more than 100,000 six years ago.

A rocket struck an Indian diplomatic compound in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Tuesday, causing no casualties, police said, as representatives of about two dozen international delegations met a kilometre or so away to discuss efforts to end violence.

Sirens and warnings of “incoming” missiles sounded in a number of embassies, followed by a dull thump as the rocket exploded.

Police said no one was injured in the blast, which struck a tennis court, a few blocks away from where the Indian ambassador and other foreign dignitaries were meeting with senior Afghan officials.

A Taliban Twitter account said the group had targeted a “command centre of foreign invading forces” with a “missile”.

Early reports indicate a rocket landed close to Resolute Support compound in Kabul city: Afghan media

Notoriously inaccurate, rockets are an occasion fired into the city, often towards the fortified downtown area that houses not only the Indian embassy, but a number of other foreign delegations, the headquarters of the international military mission and Afghan government ministries.

On May 31, a huge truck bomb detonated outside gates leading to the fortified area, killing more than 150 Afghans and wounding hundreds.

“We were not the only targets, the entire diplomatic community was the target of this attack,” Afghan President Ashraf Ghani told foreign diplomats gathered for a conference in Kabul.

That blast caused serious damage to the German embassy and lighter damage to the Indian and other embassies nearby.

Several protesters were killed in clashes with police on Friday, and at least a dozen people were killed when suicide bombers attacked the funeral for one of the dead protesters on Saturday.

Number of rockets falling on cpec corridor will be directly proportional to the square of the rockets falling on Indians in Afghanistan and Kashmir.

This is just beginning, east Punjab would get independence from terrorist country to form a new country Khalistan, and soon IOK Kashmir would be part of Pakistan just wait, watch and see.

Sure be my guest. but will make sure that Lahore becomes its capital.

You fool we want to spread our Khalistan independent country upto delhi, and our capital of Khalistan would be Amritsar and would maintain good relationship with our beloved Pakistani brothers soon while when we have Khalistan Independent country

Khalistan Zindabad !
