The rocket's impact could be seen about 200 meters (yards) down from the US Embassy on a main road in central Kabul. Security officers say the rocket hit the house of a senior Interior Ministry official but caused no casualties.

At the scene, Maj. Ghulam Rasul of the Afghan national army said he believed the five rockets that hit early Tuesday were fired from a long range.

He said, "the capital is closely guarded, they had to fire from far away."
