Rockets launched at US forces stationed at Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq
|
[FoxNews] No one was injured in the attack, a U.S. defense official told Fox News
Four rockets struck Thursday near Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq, which houses U.S. troops, but there were no reported injuries, and there was no damage to the base, Fox News has learned.
| That sounds like the shoot-off-and-pray methods of the Shiite paramilitaries who ineffectually fire Iranian rockets at the Yanks on Iranian orders. |
A U.S. defense official told Fox News none of the rockets landed inside the base.
The attack comes just days after U.S. and Iraqi officials met at a Pentagon summit to discuss when the coalition against ISIS in Iraq could end and transition to a bilateral security relationship with some U.S. troops likely remaining.
Iraqi factions aligned with Iran have called on all 2,500 U.S. troops that remain in the country to withdraw.
The attack on the airbase also comes just one day after fighter jets intercepted two Russian Tu-95 "Bear" bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers off the coast of Alaska.
NORAD fighter jets from the United States and Canada conducted the interception.
Iran-backed factions in Iraq have targeted U.S. troops at bases in the country dozens of times since the start of the Israel-Gaza War in October with a slowdown since February.
