No one was hurt in the attacks by two Northern Alliance factions, but two Afghan National Army vehicles were damaged, U.N. spokesman Manoel de Almeida e Silva said.
"The attacks involved elements of the factions that are not pleased by the heavy weapons collection process," Almeida e Silva said at a news conference.
They occurred between Nov. 21 and Nov. 23 in Jawzjan and Balkh provinces, he said.
