Rockets fired at Afghanistan Parliament in Kabul, no casualties reported

The attack reportedly occurred while Afghani security officials were entering the building to brief legislators. 

In spite of the explosion, the MP's will continue as per their schedule at Parliament, Afghan media sources claimed.

This attack comes a day after a suicide bomb blast in Lahore which killed 72 people. A faction of the Pakistan Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack, which targeted Christians during the Easter celebration.

This is the second major attack targeting the Parliamentary complex in a year. On June 23, 2015, seven Taliban militants carried out a similar attack on the Parliament, triggering massive explosions and gunfire that killed two civilians and injured 31 people. Security forces ultimately gunned down the militants.

The new Parliament building was completed by India in 2015 and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as a mark of friendship and cooperation to help rebuild Afghanistan.

More details of the attack are awaited.
