A rocket attack has targeted the US-occupied Ain al-Assad Airbase in the western Iraqi province of al-Anbar, injuring several American personnel members.
“Rockets were launched at Ain al-Assad base,” AFP reported, citing a military source as saying about the Monday attack.
Some of the projectiles “fell inside the base,” the source added.
At least three explosions were heard in the base, likely due to rocket fire and drone strikes, Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network reported.
CNN, meanwhile, cited an American official as confirming the casualties.
“Initial indications are that several US personnel were injured. Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment,” the official said.
No person or group has claimed responsibility for the incident so far.
