GHAZNI,Afghanistan: Three rockets fired by Taliban militants hit Ghazni city, the capital of Afghanistan's eastern Ghazni province, on Thursday but caused no loss of life, deputy to provincial police chief Ramazan Ali Mohseni said.
"Three rockets fired by Taliban rebels slammed into Ghazni city Thursday morning but fortunately caused no loss of life," Mohseni told Xinhua.
The rocket attacks took place hours after President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani arrived in Ghazni city to meet the government officials and locals to inspect the situation there.
Taliban militants briefly captured Ghazni city in early August, inflicting countless loss of lives and huge property damages to private and public institutions.
After recapturing the Ghazni city in August, President Ghani visited the city and promised Ghazni residents to upgrade the war-torn province administration system and development projects.
Almost after one month of his visit to Ghazni, the president took another visit to Ghazni city Thursday morning. After meeting government officials and elders to review the situation, he ordered launching a few development projects including constructing a conference hall and building a new hospital there, Presidential Palace said in a media release.
