Two rockets hit strategic targets in Kabul, Afghanistan, early Tuesday morning, Reuters has confirmed. One struck the Presidenitial Palace, home of current President Hamid Karzai who is seeking re-election in Thursday’s presidential election, and the other hit the police headquarters in the city.

The attack followed a major explosion near the NATO Headquarters and U.S. Embassy on Saturday.

Tweets from Kabul — and one tweet relaying info from Afghanistan — were quick to report these latest attacks, which according to one tweet, may have been carried out by the Taliban:
