Afghan official says rocket kills 3 civilians

KABUL — Afghanistan’s interior ministry says a rocket attack has killed three civilians inside a home in the northern Kunduz province.

The ministry said Tuesday that the rocket also wounded three civilians in the home. The statement blamed insurgents for the Monday night attack.

Kunduz had been relatively quiet until a few years ago when Taliban activity began to increase and threaten NATO supply routes south from Central Asia.

In Kabul, the deputy police chief said a rocket hit the ground near the Ministry of Urban Development in the capital early Tuesday, but there were no casualties.
