U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was the intended target of rocket strikes in Afghanistan's capital Saturday, the Taliban said in a statement claiming responsibility for the attacks.
At least three explosions rocked the diplomatic area of the Afghan capital after Kerry left the city following meetings with Afghan officials including President Ashraf Ghani.
No casualties resulted from the attacks, according to Afghan government spokesman Sediq Sediqqi.
But they underscored the volatile security situation in the country as warmed weather brings increased fighting.
There was no additional information to verify the Taliban's claim, but wittnesses in Kabul heard four loud explosions near the diplomatic area of the city Saturday night.
