According to the initial information, a rocket landed in Sherpur/Wazir Akbar Khan area (PD10)&an explosion took place in Dehmazang area (PD3) of #Kabul City, today morning.
There are unfounded rumors in the social media that today's Kabul #explosions were caused by drone strikes.

#Taliban's interior ministry confirmed to media that a rocket was landed in a vacant/unoccupaied house in Sherpur area, in PD10 of Kabul City, today mirning. No casualties reported.

Here is the conspiracy theory, shared by Rahmatullah Nabil, former director of AFG's intelligence (NDS):

Here is the video clip of the Taliban's ministry of interior's spokesman about today morning's rocket attack that hit a house in PD10 of Kabul City (no casualties, as the house was unoccupaied):

The conspiracy theory about today morning's explosion in Kabul City, is developing.
After Nabil's claim, that US drone targeted an ISKP hideout, now other source said that actually PAK drones targeted some guest houses in 3 locations of Kabul, where TTP members were accommodated.

#Taliban confirmed that Sunday's attack was a US drone strike:
"The nature of the incident was not revealed at first. The IEA security& intelligence agencies investigated the incident& in their preliminary investigations found that the attack was carried out by #American_drones."

"The IEA strongly condemns this attack under any pretext& calls it a clear violation of international principles& Doha Agreement.
Such actions are a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years& against the interests of the US, AFG& the region," TB spokesman said.

"Repeating such actions will damage the available opportunities," the Taliban statement concluded.
Note:
While the US officials didn't comment on the issue yet, it could be part of Biden's over-the-horizon counterterrorism operations in AFG, for protection of US&its allies. See⬇️

According to @FoxNews, AQ leader Ayman Al Zawahiri was killed in the US drone strike in Kabul on Sunday.
@POTUS will address the nation, to announce an alleged successful over-the-horizone counterterrorism operation in #AFG.
The death of AQ leader is not officially confirmed yet.

U.S. President @JoeBiden confirmed the killing of AQ leader, Ayman Al Zawahiri, in a precised drone strike in Kabul City on Sunday.
As expected, he avoided mentioning the Taliban (as hosts of Al Zawahiri or enablers of his killing) in his entire speech about death of Al Zawahiri.
