Several missiles were fired at Kabul during the speech of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on the occasion of the Eid al-Adha Muslim holiday, local media reported Tuesday.
According to the TOLOnews broadcaster, the attack occurred at 09:00 local time (04:30 GMT).
The rockets were fired at the Presidential Palace and the Green Zone, city’s government district, where embassies of many countries are located.
Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani had earlier proposed a three-month-long ceasefire.
In his turn, the Taliban’s supreme leader, Sheikh Haibatullah Akhunzada, said that the fight against the Afghan government will continue, according to the Taliban* officials.
Afghanistan has long been destabilized by the conflict between the Taliban movement and the Afghan government, exacerbated by the activities of various terrorist groups.
