KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Canadian soldiers came under attack today west of Kandahar.
The attack took place close to where Canada's combat troops have encountered heavy fighting with Taliban forces over the past few weeks.
Insurgents launched a mortar round at the Canadians in an area known as Forward Operating Base Wilson.
No one was injured in the attack.
The base is where many of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry's B Company have been stationed.
In the past few days, they have faced numerous rocket and other attacks near southern Afghanistan's infamous Highway One, in an area known as ambush alley.
