"At least five rockets were fired at the airport from Darra" sources said quoting security forces.
Earlier three loud explosions were reported from different areas Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's capital, but later they turned out to be rocket fire near airport.
Heavy gunfire erupted after a third explosion inside the airport on top of two earlier rocket attacks.
It could not be said for sure who were the attackers and what was on their mind as no one was allowed to enter the airport, sources said.
"There was no knowing what's going on. Security forces have sealed the airport after besieging it. All the roads leading to the airport have been blocked as well", sources told Geo News.

Sources also said that the shooting that came on the heels of rocket attacks subsided as soon as security forces took control of the airport, however sporadic firing continues.

MOAR stupidity by Pak journalists:

@WajSKhan: Little birdie just said Peshawar is payback for hit on NDS chief. Spy vs Spy, Durand Line style.

Yeah, too bad the NDS is a DOMESTIC agency. It has its hands too tied up trying to stop the Taliban in Afghanistan to even think of external ops.

Just another case of the chickens coming home to roost.
