   KABUL, AFGHANISTAN --

   As many as two rockets landed near the international military
   headquarters in downtown Kabul early Saturday morning, Afghan security
   officials said.

   There were no reports of casualties.

   Around 6 a.m. local time (01:30 am GMT) alarms could be heard sounding
   at the headquarters of the NATO-led military mission, as well as at
   several foreign embassies in the area.

   The alarms were followed by several loud explosions.
