PESHAWAR: Unknown assailants on Friday fired nine rockets at Pakistan’s premier military academy near the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed, damaging the outer wall, officials said.

“Nine rockets were fired. Three rockets hit the boundary wall of the military academy and damaged it.

No one was hurt in the attack,” Imtiaz Hussain Shah, a top local government official in Abbottabad told AFP.

“We have launched a search operation,” Shah added.

The six other rockets landed in open fields near the outer wall, he said.

It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack.
