Kabul, July 17 (IBNS) Taliban terrorists launched an attack on an international airport in Afghanistan capital Kabul early Thursday morning, as explosions and gunfire were heard.

According to Afghanistan's interior ministry, the attack was led by a terror group who fired rockets and opened fire.

Reports said a rapid response team has been sent to combat the terrorists. Smoke billowed out of the airport while a car near the airport was seen in flames. Terrorists took hold of a building north of the airport, said reports.

Al Jazeera correspondent Jennifer Glasse was quoted on its site saying "we've heard at least two dozen explosions and a lot of gunfire." "Fighter jets are circling the airport," she said. More details are awaited.
