TEHRAN-- (UNB/AP) - Five mortars shells exploded in northern Tehran Sunday, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

There were no reported casualties from the explosions, which took place near a military base belonging to Iran's elite Islamic Republic Guards Corps.

It was not clear whether the base was the target of the attack.

Similar mortar attacks in the past have been claimed by the rebel Mujahedeen Khalq.

The Iraqi-based group seeks the overthrow of Iran's Islamic government and frequently attacks targets deep inside Iran and along the border with Iraq.
