Kabul, May 15: Unknown militants have fired a rocket near South Korea’s provincial reconstruction team base in Afghanistan’s northern province of Parwan.
The RPG-7 rocket landed about 200 meters away from the base in Charikar City, located 65 kilometers (40 miles) north of the capital Kabul, early on Saturday, The Korea Herald newspaper quoted officials at the South Korean foreign ministry as saying.
However, there were no reports of death or injuries.
The incident followed a similar rocket attack on May 5. It also marked the seventh attack on the South Korean base in war-torn Afghanistan.
In 2007, Taliban militants took hostage 23 South Korean nationals and killed two of them; but set the others free after an agreement with the South Korean government to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
