3 rockets land near Afghan presidential palace during Eid prayers

At least three rockets hit the Afghan capital on Tuesday, landing near the presidential palace during prayers for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. The rockets landed shortly before Afghan President Ashraf Ghani was to give an address to mark the major holiday of Eid al-Adha.

No casualties have been reported so far.

The palace is in the middle of a so-called Green Zone that is fortified with giant cement blast walls and barbed wire, and streets near the palace have long been closed off.
