No, not in Iraq, Afghanistan or the Gaza Strip .... in Braunschweig/Germany !
An experimental rocket, built by students of the Technical University Braunschweig
and tested on an airfield for model aircraft, smashed through a roof, several walls
and transited through the children's room, fortunately nobody was injured, the
inhabitants weren't at home then. Investigations by the police and the university
have started.
Not really useful for paving the way for space flight or the use of drones, I'm afraid !

showing another test with this type and where the rocket came to rest in that house)
