Suspected Baloch tribal fighters fired rockets at a military base in a tribal region in northwestern Pakistan early Sunday, but no one was hurt, officials said.
Three rockets fired in the predawn attack slammed into a field inside the base in Wana, the headquarters of South Waziristan tribal region, a government official and an area intelligence agent said.
Troops retaliated with small weapons fire in the direction from which the rockets were launched, according to the website of local newspaper The News.
It was not known whether the assailants suffered any casualties, the intelligence official said.
