Mattis meets with rockets in Kabul

The Taliban targeted US defence secretary James Mattis with a rocket attack on Kabul airport after he arrived in Afghanistan on an unannounced visit, officials said.

Mattis landed in the Afghan capital on Wednesday, alongside NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, and was met with several rockets landing in and around the airport, local police reported.

There were no reports of casualties or damage after the attack, which was claimed by the Taliban. The trip marks Mattis' first visit to the country since US President Donald Trump's pledge last month to win America's longest war.

There are reports that 5 civilians have been injured.
