Rockets fired at NDMA chief’s helicopter in Balochistan

KHUZDAR: A Pakistani official says militants fired rockets at a government helicopter flying over the region struck by a massive earthquake this week.

The projectiles missed the target and the aircraft was unharmed.

Abdur Rasheed, deputy commissioner for Awaran district, says the helicopter targeted on Thursday was carrying the head of the country's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), a Pakistani Army general in charge of relief operations and other officials. (AP)
