Al Anbar [Iraq], March 3 : Multiple rockets struck Al Assad military airbase on Wednesday that houses US troops in Iraq's western Anbar province.
A senior US official informed that Iraqi special forces are leading the response and probing the attack.
"10 IDF [Israel Defense Forces] rockets targeted an Iraqi military base, Al Asad Airbase, hosting Coalition troops, on March 03, 2021 at approx 7:20 a.m. (Iraqi time) [04:20 GMT].
