US Embassy in Kabul hit by rockets

A pair of rockets fired by the Taliban struck the United States Embassy in Kabul shortly before dawn on Wednesday, the embassy said. “At approximately 6:40 local time in Kabul, approximately two rounds of indirect fire impacted the US Embassy compound,” a statement from the embassy said. “All Americans are accounted for and no injuries were sustained. The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for the attack. Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the insurgents, posted a message on his Twitter feed saying "the Taliban had hit the American Embassy with four rockets and inflicted heavy casualties." Kabul police chief, Mohammad Zahir, says one suspect was arrested over that attack.
