KABUL, July 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Two rockets fired from unknown locations shocked the Afghan capital Kabul on Sunday morning, an official said.

    "The rockets fired from mountains in east direction at 05:10 am hit residential areas but fortunately left no casualties," an official of the Interior Ministry's press department told Xinhua.

    It is the first time in more than two months that the fortified Kabul has come under rocket attack.

    "One of the rocket slammed the house of a Colonel Mohammad Yunus and the other landed near a park in Wazir Akbar Khan district," the official added but refused to be identified.

    Wazir Akbar Khan is close to the fortified US embassy building and the Headquarters of NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

    He did not point the finger at any particular group or individuals. However, government officials usually put such attacks on Taliban.

    Remnants of fundamentalist movement whose regime was toppled by US military in late 2001 have intensified their guerrilla attacks over the past three months. The militants in the latest spate of violence assassinated 11 policemen in southern Helmand province the other day.    Enditem
