[Regnum] Several people were injured in a drone attack on a US military base in northern Iraq, the INA news agency reported , citing information from Iraqi Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Rasul. The facility is located on the territory of the international airport of Erbil (the administrative center of Iraqi Kurdistan). Rasul called the drone strike an act of terrorism. The operation of the airport was also disrupted during the attack, which affected the schedule of civil flights. The news portal Shafaq News clarified that a military base in Erbil was attacked by a kamikaze drone loaded with explosives. The Shiite movement, the Islamic Resistance of Iraq, claimed responsibility for the attack. The organization also announced an attack on a US base near the Al-Omar oil field in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor. In addition, the movement warned of plans to increase the number of military operations in Syria and Iraq against the United States due to Washington's military assistance to Israel. As Regnum reported, on December 8, the US Embassy in Baghdad came under fire from a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS). Three missiles fired in the direction of the object fell on the territory of the complex of administrative buildings where the American diplomatic mission is located. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed al-Sudani condemned the attack and considered it an act of terrorism . US authorities called on the Iraqi side to find and punish all those responsible for the rocket attack , as well as for attacks on other targets with American citizens.
