Shafaq News/ An American official confirmed, on Monday, that the “Ain al-Assad” base in Anbar Governorate, western Iraq, which includes American forces, was attacked by a drone.
The official said, according to Reuters, “The Ain al-Asad base, which includes American forces in Iraq, was attacked by a remotely piloted aircraft, without causing any casualties or damage.”
This is the third attack of its kind targeting American forces within 24 hours, after the two attacks that targeted the “Omar Field and Kharab al-Jir” bases in Syria yesterday, Sunday.
These attacks are the first of their kind since early February, when factions allied with Iran in Iraq stopped their attacks on American forces.
A security source told Shafaq News Agency earlier on Sunday evening that five missiles were launched from the village of Hamad Agha in the Zumar district, northwest of Mosul, towards the American base at Kharab al-Jir base within Syrian territory.
He added that American aircraft flew intensively between the Iraqi-Syrian border within the districts of Zammar and Rabia, northwest of Mosul, against the backdrop of the missile attack, before targeting the vehicle from which the missiles were launched.
