On Monday morning, rockets were fired at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul and repulsed by the air defense system installed at the airport.
The missiles were fired from a vehicle near Khorshid Private University, near the Lab Jar Khairkhana intersection, towards Kabul airport.
This comes a day after the US launched an air strike that destroyed a vehicle laden with explosives, hours after President Joe Biden warned of another terrorist attack amid the evacuation.
Initial reports said several missiles had flown over Kabul and the targets were unclear.
