KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A rocket exploded at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan just minutes into Wednesday, the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States, but officials at the compound declared all-clear about an hour later and reported no injuries.

A plume of smoke rose over central Kabul shortly after midnight and sirens could be heard. Inside the embassy, employees heard this message over the loudspeaker: “An explosion caused by a rocket has occurred on compound.”

No personnel were injured in the attack, according to the report. The article goes on to state the following:

It was the first major attack in the Afghan capital since President Donald Trump abruptly called off U.S.-Taliban talks over the weekend, on the brink of an apparent deal to end America’s longest war.

Afghan Ministry of Defence says, a rocket hit their external wall just after midnight on 9/11 anniversary. Building next to US Embassy in Kabul. No casualties have been reported. (Taliban sending a message perhaps!)
