This is the first rocket attack on Kabul over the past several months that has claimed a life. No group or individuals have claimed responsibility.

Government officials often blame such attacks on Taliban militants, who staged a violent comeback three years ago. Militancy and conflicts have claimed the lives of more than 1,100 people this year in Afghanistan.
