The international airport in Kabul was targeted by rockets early Monday morning local time as the deadline for U.S. forces to leave Afghanistan is nearing.

On Monday morning local time, the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul was the target of a rocket attack. President Biden was briefed on the attack by National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Chief of Staff Ron Klain, the White House said.

The military hasn't said if anyone was injured in the attack.

Some news outlets reported the rockets had been intercepted by a U.S. counter missile system. The administration's statement, however, made no mention of this.

Evacuation operations at Kabul's airport continued uninterrupted and there were no changes to efforts to protect on-the-ground forces, the White House said.

It's unclear who is responsible for the rocket attack.
