Rocket-propelled grenades fired at UN refugee agency’s office in Afghanistan

Several rocket-propelled grenades were fired at an office of the United Nations refugee agency in southern Afghanistan today.

The firing at the office in Kandahar of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) caused little, if any, damage and no casualties, according to a UN spokesperson.

The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) noted that the attack was a matter of grave concern, as an attack on UN premises. An investigation into the incident has begun.
