| Two rockets were fired on Peshawar on Tuesday, possibly from Khyber Agency, police said. No casualties were reported. One of the rockets landed in the Akhundabad area in the Pishtakhara Police Station precincts at around 7.55pm, said Pishtakhara Police SHO Fazl Maula. Operations SSP Mohammad Tahir told Daily Times one of the two rockets landed in the fields at Pishtakhara village and the other landed in the Sarband police precincts. He said it was not clear yet where the rockets had been fired from. “These may have been fired from Khyber Agency,” he added. The incidents of rockets being fired at the city have risen during the last several weeks. Recently, militants fired several rockets on Hayatabad, an affluent locality of the city, and 11 rockets on an army garrison on Warsak Road, a few kilometres from Mohmand Agency. On December 9, 2007, militants fired three rockets on a Pakistan Air Force base in the city. No casualties were reported in the incident. |
