Today, Tuesday, a missile attack targeted the Ain Al-Assad base, which includes American forces and is located in Anbar Province (western Iraq), in the third operation of its kind against American forces in Iraq, within 3 days;
However, today's attack did not cause any casualties or material damage.
The Security Media Cell of the Joint Operations Command in Iraq - in a statement - said, "Two Katyusha rockets landed at Ain Al-Asad Air Base in Anbar Governorate, without human or material losses."
The cell explained that the two rockets landed in an empty square in the base, which is one of the largest military bases in Iraq, and includes a special section in which US military forces are present.
Similar missile attacks occurred on Sunday and Monday against bases housing American forces at Baghdad International Airport and northern Baghdad, and the latest attack coincided with the visit of a high-ranking American delegation headed by the White House Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, Brett McGurk, to Baghdad.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
But Washington has regularly accused Iraqi armed factions close to Iran of targeting its forces and diplomats in Iraq.
Since US President Joe Biden came to power at the end of last January, about 30 attacks with explosive devices or missiles have targeted logistical columns of the international coalition, bases containing American soldiers, and the US embassy in Baghdad.
These attacks resulted in the killing of foreign contractors and 9 Iraqis.
They are contracted and 8 civilians.
The attacks reached a new level in mid-April last, when Iraqi factions loyal to Iran carried out for the first time a bombed drone attack on a military base hosting Americans at Erbil airport (in the north of the country).
