Five rockets were fired in the dead of night by terror splinter group ISIS-K from a car in a northern suburb of the city.
Residents told of hearing several “whooshes” as the rockets crossed the city before being blown out of the sky.
Terrified locals hid as shrapnel from the destroyed missiles crashed down in the neighbourhood of Salim Karwan.
The car which launched them was later pictured on fire in the north of Kabul.
There were no reports of any injuries, and ISIS-K – behind the deadly suicide bombing at the airport last week – later claimed responsibility.
In spite of yesterday’s rocket salvo, the White House stressed there had been no interruption to its evacuations, which last night entered their final phase.
But the American military said it was continuing to hit back after last week’s airport bombing, which killed 13 US service members and more than 150 Afghan civilians.
Yesterday’s foiled rocket attacks followed a deadly US Reaper drone strike on a vehicle which killed an unspecified number of people in a Kabul neighbourhood on Sunday.
The drone strike was launched to stop an attack on the airport.
