Two rifle grenades hit a U.S. Embassy housing complex today, damaging property but causing no injuries, the embassy said.

A spokesman said the grenades were fired by unidentified men at noon and struck the seafront housing and recreational complex.

The attack occurred a week after President Corazon Aquino, with U.S. support, quelled the sixth and bloodiest coup attempt against her.
