5 Rockets Fired at Kabul Airport, Stopped by Missile Defense System

A missile defense system in Kabul on Monday intercepted five rockets fired at the international airport. No casualties were reported.

A U.S. defense official speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed the rockets were intercepted via a C-RAM missile defense system. The official did not confirm if all five rockets were brought down short of Hamid Karzai International Airport.

The attack comes shortly after a U.S. airstrike on ISIS-K in response to the terrorist attack last Thursday that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers.

Earlier on Sunday, a suicide bomber aiming to attack the airport was killed in a U.S. drone strike while driving in his vehicle.
