The agency said, the series of explosions caused by rockets, which landed near the Green Zone in Kabul, killed 8 people.

The agency quoted a spokesman for the Kabul police, Firdaus Faramarz, as saying that the explosions were caused by "missiles."

"The terrorists fired 23 rockets at Kabul," Interior Ministry spokesman Tariq Erian said. "Based on preliminary information, eight people were martyred and 31 others were wounded," explaining that "rockets landed on residential areas."

The rockets landed in densely populated areas, in parts of the center and north of the Afghan capital, Kabul, as well as near the heavily fortified Green Zone, which includes embassies and international companies' headquarters, before nine O'clock (04:30 GMT), and no group has yet adopted the bombing.
