Several rockets were launched at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Monday, striking buildings but causing no injuries or fatalities thus yet.

According to Tolo News, the rockets were fired from a car in northern Kabul's Khair Khana neighborhood toward the airport.

The rocket strike was confirmed by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who both emphasized that the airport's evacuation procedures were not disrupted.

Since a member of the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, or ISIS-K, detonated his explosives at the crowded Kabul airport on Thursday, killing over 200 people, the drone attack was the second by US forces in Afghanistan.

As part of a pact with the Taliban organization, the United States, which invaded Afghanistan following the September 11, 2001 attacks, must leave all of its soldiers on Tuesday, August 31.

After two decades of military occupation by the United States and NATO, who invaded Afghanistan in the guise of a "crusade against terrorism," killing 250,000 civilians and forcing 11 million people to flee the nation, the Taliban retook control of the Central Asian country.
