A suspected rocket attack against a military base in Iraq on Monday has left a number US personnel injured, according to a report.
US officials said “several” Americans were injured in the attack against Al Asad airbase in western Iraq, Reuters reported.
“Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment,” one US official told the outlet.
At least one of the two Katyusha rockets fired at US forces fell inside the airbase, according to the report.
The attack comes as the US and Israel brace for retaliation from Iran and its proxies over the deaths of two top Hamas and Hezbollah officials last week.
The US has denied any involvement in the deaths of the terrorist groups’ leaders. Iran has blamed Israel for the attacks.
