Rockets hit Ghazni during Afghan President Ashraf Ghani visit

Three rockets hit the Afghan city of Ghazni during a visit by President Ashraf Ghani today. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the assault. Deputy police chief of Ghazni, Ramazan Ali Mohseni told news agency AFP that no one was killed or wounded in the latest attack.
One of the rockets landed about 200 metres from the Ghazni governor's office, where Ghani was holding meetings with security officials, religious leaders and members of civil society.
It was Ghani's second visit to Ghazni since the Taliban's raid on the city in early August. The attack comes weeks after the Taliban stormed the provincial capital -- a two-hour drive from Kabul -- and engaged security forces in an intense battle that killed hundreds of people.
