Attackers have fired several rocket-propelled grenades at the Pakistan Military Academy, about 50km (30 miles) north of the capital Islamabad.

The building is located in Abbottabad, near the compound where Osama Bin Laden was killed by US special forces in May last year.

Friday’s attack damaged a wall but no casualties have been reported.

It was unclear who was responsible but security forces have mounted a search, officials said.

The Pakistan Military Academy is the country’s top training centre, the equivalent of West Point in the US or Britain’s Sandhurst.
