KABUL, Afghanistan — The Pentagon condemned a Taliban rocket attack on Kandahar Airfield that a spokesman called disruptive to peace negotiations, while declining to say whether it violated last year’s U.S.-Taliban peace deal. The insurgents fired an undisclosed number of rockets at the airfield in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, all of which landed outside the perimeter and caused no damage or casualties, the U.S. military said. Massoud Pashtoon, the airfield director, told Stars and Stripes on Wednesday that the attack began around 10 a.m. and ended after four rockets landed in an open field. “We condemn the attack and we believe this decision to provoke even more violence remains disruptive,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters in Washington late Wednesday.
