According to Phelan, later contacted by RT, her colleagues were talking to local people when the mortars were fired, which made the crew interrupt the interview. The journalist presumed that the fire could have been a targeted attack, as the area is reportedly very rarely targeted by mortars.
No one was injured in the attack.
