Seems the Turkish media is as bad as any other! The rocket attack has been denied by the operator and witnesses;

Press Release from ACT;
After the first press release that has been published yesterday, due to the news published on some internet sites we feel obliged to make this second release.

Neither the current pictures of the aircraft taken after the incident nor the inspection performed by the operating crew indicate any sign for an impact on the aircraft that may be caused by a foreign object. The technical team that has been dispatch for a thorough inspection will arrive into Bagram Airport at 15:00 Turkey local time and a detailed report will be prepared afterwards.

The operating crew in Bagram Airport was not questioned by any party. The technician and the load master are in contact with the local authorities for the offloading of the aircraft. After meeting the technical team in Bagram and helping them conduct the thorough inspection, the crew will travel back to Bahrain with the technical team.
