At least five civilians were wounded when several rockets were fired in the direction of Kabul's international airport in the Afghan capital, officials said Wednesday.
The attack came as US Secretary of Defense James Mattis and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg were in the city for a visit.
Najib Danish, spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, said one rocket struck a home near the airport, wounding the five victims.
He said one victim was a woman who was "not in a good health condition."
Tumor Shah Hamedi, director of Kabul's airport, said all flights were halted as a result of the attack.
A doctor at Wazir Akbar Khan hospital said they received four wounded people including two children.
