The base where Canadian soldiers are stationed in southern Afghanistan was hit by a rocket attack last night, for the second time in as many days.
There were no injuries or damage, a NATO spokesman reported. The rocket struck around 11 p.m.
On Sunday, three rockets struck the base about half an hour apart, shortly after a Taliban spokesman threatened to escalate suicide attacks against foreign troops in Afghanistan. No injuries or significant damage were reported.
Thirty-seven rockets have been fired at the Kandahar Air Field since nearly 2,200 Canadian soldiers moved into the base in February.
