| Rockets hit Peshawar again | |
| 2009-09-14 | |
Official sources said five rockets were fired at the city at 11:00 pm while four others landed in different parts of the provincial metropolis early in the morning. Of the five rockets that hit the city later Sunday, two landed in Badaber, partially damaging the houses of Amjad and Wakil. Three others landed in an open field in parts of Pishtakhara village. Earlier, two rockets fell on empty plots in the posh Hayatabad Township while as many landed near the Ring Road. No casualty was reported in the rocket attacks. However, the series of rocket attacks in the past couple of days spread terror among the Peshawariites. The militants are raining rockets at the city quite frequently during the past month from Darra Adamkhel, Khyber Agency, Michni and rural parts of the provincial capital, which seems to be a reaction to the ongoing military operation in the nearby tribal belt, including Khyber Agency. | |
