Rocket causes explosion near US embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan

A rocket exploded at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan just minutes into Wednesday, the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States, but officials at the compound declared all-clear about an hour later and reported no injuries.

A plume of smoke rose over central Kabul shortly after midnight and sirens could be heard. Inside the embassy, employees heard this message over the loudspeaker: ‘An explosion caused by a rocket has occurred on compound.’

There was no immediate comment from Afghan officials. The NATO mission, which is nearby, also said no personnel had been injured.
