KABUL, Afghanistan - An insurgent-fired rocket-propelled grenade struck a mosque near Asadabad at approximately 8 a.m., Aug. 11.
The RPG, one of four, broke windows and knocked down a tree. Nobody was injured in the blast.
The attack came on the first day of Ramadan and only two days before children were killed by insurgent fighters.
"It is sad that these insurgents have total disregard for their own brothers and holy places during this especially sacred time of the year," said U.S. Navy Cmdr. Mark Edwards, Provincial Reconstruction Team Kunar commander. "We will continue to with the Kunar Provincial government to ensure these people are held accountable for their actions. The safety of the people of Kunar remains our number one priority."
