KABUL — A soldier in the Afghan capital was slightly injured Tuesday by a rocket fired into the international force's main base, a spokesman for the troops said.

The 107-mm rocket hit at about 9:35 a.m. local time inside the International Security Assistance Force's Camp Warehouse in eastern Kabul, Canadian Capt. Bernard Dionne said.

"The soldier is doing just fine," Dionne said.

The injured soldier was identified as a German sergeant, but his name was not released.

Kabul's deputy police chief, Khalil Aminzada, also said it was a rocket attack, but had no details.

Reporters later saw troops driving toward a village near the base as helicopters circled overhead.

Rockets are regularly fired into Kabul, sometimes slamming into homes, but rarely cause major damage or injury. Last year, a barrage on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks slightly injured a Canadian contractor in Camp Warehouse.

This year, soldiers from the NATO-led force, including more than 2,000 from Canada, have defused a series of homemade bombs along the Jalalabad Road, where Camp Warehouse and several other ISAF military bases are located.

In January, Canadian Cpl. Jamie Murphy was killed along with a British soldier in suicide attacks on consecutive days.

The 6,000-strong force currently patrols Kabul and one northern city, but is expected to fan out across the north to help provide security for planned September elections.

The troops have helped Kabul police arrest dozens of suspected militants, including several leading agents of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a former prime minister who has vowed to help the Taliban drive out foreign troops.
