At least 4 people have been killed and more than 30 injured in a rocket attack on one of Pakistan's key regional airports in the city of Peshawar. Women and children are thought to be among the casualties. Tulid Merzander reports from Islamabad.
巴基斯坦白沙瓦市重要机场发生火箭袭击,至少4人丧生,30多人受伤。据悉死者中有妇女和儿童,Tulid Merzander在伊斯兰堡报道。
The airport is in a military zone and it's just a few kilometers from the tribal areas where militants have safe havens. It's used for both commercial and military flights. A spokesperson for the Pakistani Air Force said none of the attackers managed to get on to the site. There have been repeated bombings in Peshawar in recent years, mainly carried out by the Pakistani Taliban. But attacks on airports are rare.
机场位于一军事基地,据部落区军队的安全港只有数公里。这架飞机用作商业和军事两用,巴基斯坦空军发言人称袭击者中无人进入基地,最近几年白沙瓦发生多次轰炸事件,多为巴基斯坦的塔利班所谓。但袭击机场还属罕见。
