The United States military on Monday reportedly shot down two armed drones heading towards a facility housing American advisers at the exact airport where drones killed Iranian General, Qassemi Soleimani, two years ago following Donald Trump

...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
's orders.

The drones were shot down by the C-RAM defence system, which protects American installations in Iraq, it was learnt.

But there were no reports of damage or injuries from the incident.

However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
no group has grabbed credit for the attack, although one of the wings of the drone had an inscription which read, 'Soleimani's Dire Revenge' painted on it.

Rudaw adds:

"Two fixed-wing drones rigged with explosives were engaged and destroyed by defensive capabilities at the Iraqi Al-Asad Air Base [Ain al-Asad],” the official told AFP.

Located in Anbar province, Ain al-Asad airbase hosts the US-led coalition personnel and Iraqi army troops.

The Iraqi Security Media Cell said the drones were shot down outside the vicinity of the base.

This is the second attack on the coalition in 24 hours. The American troops shot down two explosive-laden drones targeting a compound at Baghdad airport housing its military troops early Monday morning as thousands of people commemorated the second anniversary of the Iranian general Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who were killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad on January 3, 2020.
