A rocket has exploded in the Afghan capital Kabul, in the grounds of the state-run television station.

It landed at about 2300 local time (1830 GMT) in an area near the UN special representative's compound, sending up a plume of smoke.

Intelligence sources reported one Afghan soldier had been injured.

The last rocket explosion in the city centre happened a week ago. It landed in an area were there were no buildings, and no damage was caused.
