ASADABAD, Afghanistan - A rocket slammed into a packed school yard Tuesday near a U.S.-led coalition base in eastern Afghanistan, killing seven children and wounding 34 other people. Police blamed Taliban militants for the explosion at the Salabagh School in Asadabad, about 105 miles northeast of Kabul, in volatile Kunar province near the Pakistani border.
Another rocket exploded as parents rushed to the scene but it hit an open field and caused no casualties, said local police commander Mohammed Hasan.
It was unclear if the intended target was the school or the coalition base that has frequently come under attack. Coalition helicopters patrolled the area after the attack.
Hasan blamed the militants for targeting the school as part of a campaign against government-sponsored education.

A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammed Yousaf, denied involvement in the attack. “We do not kill innocent children. This is not our work,” he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
