Pakistan condemns rocket attacks on Kabul
ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – Pakistan on Tuesday condemned rocket attacks on Kabul close to the Afghan Presidential Palace during Eid prayers.
The Foreign Office spokesperson, in a statement, urged all parties to respond to the government’s ceasefire offer.
According to foreign media, multiple rockets hit near the diplomatic area in Kabul early Tuesday, as officials said fighting had broken out between security forces and militants in the city’s old quarter.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack, which came just days after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani offered the Taliban a three-month ceasefire.
Military helicopters were firing above the Eidgah Mosque in Reka Khana district, where smoke was rising as police and the interior ministry said clashes were underway, amid a heavy security presence near the Kabul Stadium.
