A rocket has hit a neighbourhood north-west of Kabul airport and killed a child just hours after US officials warned of the possibility of another jihadist atrocity following an ISIS-K suicide bombing which massacred 13 US troops, scores of Afghan civilians and two Britons.
A source at the Afghan Ministry of Health separately told the BBC that the blast was near the airport, while two witnesses told Reuters that a house north of the airport was struck by a rocket.
Joe Biden had previously warned another terror attack on the airport was imminent after an attack at Kabul airport carried out by ISIS-K - an Islamic extremist group operating in the Central Asian country - killed 13 American service personnel and scores of Afghans.

Yesterday, Mr Biden said that another attack on the Kabul airport could be imminent, while vowing that his revenge strike for an ISIS-K attack that killed 13 US troops is 'not the last'.
Afghan 'sleeper' agents who fed intelligence to MI6, including information about the suicide bomb attack at Kabul airport last week, have also been whisked to safety.
