KABUL (AFP) - A series of rockets struck the Afghan capital on Saturday (Dec 12), killing one person and wounding another, the interior ministry said, the second such attack to rock Kabul in less than a month.

"Four rockets were fired from Labe Jar neighbourhood of Kabul," ministry spokesman Tariq Arian told reporters, adding that two landed near Kabul airport.

He said one person was killed and another wounded.

Kabul police confirmed the early morning attack, saying most of the rockets struck the eastern part of the capital.

On Nov 21, eight people were killed when 23 rockets slammed Kabul in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group.
