The Indian ambassador to Afghanistan, Manpreet Vohra said on Tuesday following a rocket attack on his residential compound in Kabul that “India’s work in Afghanistan will go on.”
"Luckily it fell away from any people so there are no injuries. We are here to help Afghans, work is important and will go on despite the difficult environment," Vohra told NDTV after the incident.
The rocket exploded on the tennis court of India House, the Indian envoy's residential compound, at the same time that the Afghan government was hosting the key Kabul Process meeting.
Representatives of at least 23 countries as well as delegates from organizations attended Tuesday’s meeting amid heavy security and heightened threat levels.
India House is in the highly fortified Green Zone which houses a number of embassies, guesthouses and NATO’s Resolute Support Headquarters.
