June 06, 2017 13:08

A rocket has reportedly landed on the tennis court of the Indian envoy Manpreet Vohra's residential compound in the Green Zone in Kabul. No casualties, or reports of anyone injured, says Tolo News.

A blast was also reported today at a peace conference in Kabul that was opened by President Ashraf Ghani. Nobody was hurt, said sources. Leaders of nearly 30 countries and international organisations are attending the summit.

This comes a week after the devastating truck bomb in Kabul's diplomatic quarter. Casualties have jumped to more than 150, President Ashraf Ghani told an international peace conference in the capital today.

Kabul has been on edge since the bombing in the highly fortified area last Wednesday, the deadliest in the city since 2001.
