At least one civilian was killed and seven others injured as three rockets fired by militants slammed into western Afghanistan's Herat city on Sunday, police said.
"Two out of three rockets fired by enemies landed near the provincial governor office, killing one civilian and injuring seven others," provincial police chief Majid Rozi told Xinhua.
The incident occurred at around 01:45 p.m. local time on Sunday and no group has claimed of responsibility.
However, some locals said they heard five blasts.
The rocket attacks on Herat city took place amid reports on the death of Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansoor, who according to Afghan government, was killed by U.S. drone attack in Pakistan on Saturday.
Taliban outfit has yet to respond.
