Afghanistan, 5 rockets launched against Kabul airport intercepted

The C-Ram defense system intercepted five rockets launched at the ‘Hamid Karzai’ international airport in Kabul in Afghanistan. This was reported by an American official to CNN, specifying that there are no victims. According to the official, it is likely that the rockets were fired by Isis-K (Province of Khorasan), the terrorist organization that claimed responsibility for last Thursday’s attack in the Afghan capital.
