Attack by Unmanned Aerial Surveillance System Targets Iraqi Air Base

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] An attack by an unmanned aerial surveillance system on Saturday targeted Iraq's Ain al-Asad air base in western Iraq which hosts US and other international forces, but it caused no injuries, a coalition front man said.

US Army Colonel Wayne Marotto, front man for the US-led coalition, said on Twitter that the attack was being investigated but that an initial report suggests that the attack took place at 0220 local time and caused damage to a hangar.

The United States accuses Iran-backed militia groups of launching regular rocket attacks against its troops in Iraq.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Saturday's attack.
