MIRANSHAH: Suspected militants fired rockets at a paramilitary base here at around 9:30am on Thursday, slightly damaging a barrack, but there were no casualties, said security officials. The officials told Daily Times that two rockets were fired at the base inside the heavily fortified Tochi Fort in Miranshah: one hit the barrack that was damaged and the other landed in an open area near a preaching centre. “We are investigating who carried out the attack,” they said.” A spokesman for pro-Taliban militants denied involvement in the attack. “The enemies of the peace accord are behind the attack,” Abdullah Farhad, a purported spokesman for militants in North Waziristan, told Daily Times. |
