The counting of legislative polls would be postponed in Jalalabad, the capital city of Nangarhar province in eastern Afghanistan, as two rockets hit the city early Tuesday morning, an Afghan official said.

One rocket hit the culture and information department around 6: 20 a.m. this morning, two policemen were injured during the blast, Khalilullah Ziaee, police chief of Nangarhar province, told Xinhua.

Another rocket exploded in a resident area but causing no casualty, he added.

Due to security reasons, the counting of legislative polls, which is set to start from Tuesday, would be postponed in the city, said the police officer.

No one has claimed the responsibility for the attacks so far.

On Monday, a UN vehicle carrying ballot boxes was hit by roadside bomb in the Khogiani district of Nangarhar province, but the ballot boxes were undamaged.

Over 50 percent of 12.5 Afghans registered to vote used their right to elect the members of parliament and provincial councils from among nearly 5,800 candidates including 600 women on Sunday's landmark elections amid tight security.

Final result of the landmark poll is going to be announced on October 22.
