“A rocket hit a wall at the defence ministry, with no casualties reported,” interior ministry spokesman Nosrat Rahimi said in a statement.
###
The strike occurred just after midnight.
###
It was the first in the Afghan capital since US President Donald Trump announced at the weekend that talks with the Taliban aimed at a withdrawal of US troops were “dead”.
###
On Tuesday, the insurgents pledged to continue fighting and warned that Washington would regret abandoning the negotiations.
###
The September 11, 2001 attacks on US targets prompted the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, which toppled the Taliban regime.
###
Last week, Kabul was the scene of two attacks claimed by the Taliban that killed more than two dozen people.
