Dear sir/madam,
We often read in news stories about rocket attacks in our area. I want to know if we can use "rocket-attacked" instead of "came under rocket attack".
For example:
1. The police took action after coming under a rocket attack.
Or
2. The police took action after being rocket-attacked.

Are both of the above statements are correct? Or please explain which one is better?
