A rocket hit a house in the city’s Shash Darak district, killing a woman, residents said. It was one of at least two explosions heard Sunday in the Afghan capital.
The area is near the headquarters of Kabul’s NATO-led peacekeepers, the U.S. Embassy and the presidential palace.
A spokesman for the international force had no immediate information on the blasts.
Family members wailed in the courtyard of a simple mud house, crying “Where is our mother?” A neighbor confirmed that a woman had died.
Rockets are regularly fired at Afghan cities and U.S. military bases around the country. The attacks, blamed on Taliban-led militants, rarely cause damage or injuries.
On June 15, a rocket injured a guard at a compound used by the Afghan intelligence agency, yards from the peacekeepers’ headquarters.
