Indian Ambassador in Afghanistan Manpreet Vohra
A rocket struck an Indian diplomatic compound in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Tuesday, police said, as representatives of about two dozen international delegations met a kilometre or so away to discuss efforts to end violence.
Indian Ambassador in Afghanistan Manpreet Vohra on Tuesday confirmed that a rocket had hit his house in Kabul this morning, adding that there were no casualties in the incident and an investigation is underway.
“A rocket landed in the India House compound at 10.25 am this morning. There were no casualties. Investigations are ongoing,” Vohra told ANI.
Earlier, reports emerged saying that a rocket had landed on the tennis court of the Indian Ambassador‘s house in Kabul after it was fired off in the city.
Sirens and warnings of “incoming” missiles sounded in a number of embassies, followed by a dull thump as the rocket exploded.
Police said no one was injured in the blast, which struck a tennis court, a few blocks away from where the meeting was held.
