Rockets Injure 2 Girls; Spy Drone Crashes
- Share via
Two rockets hit the Afghan capital, Kabul, injuring two girls, and an unmanned spy plane used by international peacekeepers fell onto a home’s roof.
The girls’ father, Haji Mohammed Azim, said a rocket blew in windows of his house. Alima, 14, was cut in the face by flying glass. Her sister Nabila, 11, fell unconscious and was rushed to a hospital, Azim said.
No one was injured when the drone aircraft came down. Hundreds watched as area residents retrieved it from the roof.
