A Hindu temple was attacked with rocket launchers in the Southern Sindh province of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on Sunday. The assailants attacked the small temple built by the local Hindus in the Kashmore area of the Sindh province.
The Islamists attacked the temple and the adjoining homes belonging to Hindus under the jurisdiction of the Ghouspur police station. They fired indiscriminately at the temples and Hindu houses.
A police official said that the ‘dacoits’ fired rocket launchers at the ‘place of worship’. Fortunately, the temple was closed during the attack. The police official added that the temple opens annually for religious services conducted by the Bagri community, the Dawn has reported.
As per the report, a local Hindu said that the rocket launchers failed to explode, resulting in no loss of life.
The Dawn is a Pakistani English-language newspaper.
This is the second reported attack on Hindu temples in the Islamic country in less than 2 days. The first incident took place in Karachi when the Hindu community on Saturday woke up to find the old Mari Mata Temple Soldier Bazaar had been razed to the ground.
