US forces: Rockets hit airbase in Iraq hosting US troops
At least 10 rockets targeted a military base in western Iraq that
hosts U.S.-led coalition troops on Wednesday, the coalition and the
Iraqi military said. It was not immediately known if there were any
casualties.
The rockets struck Ain al-Asad airbase in Anbar province at 7:20 a.m.,
coalition spokesman Col. Wayne Marotto said. No one claimed
responsibility for the attack.

It was the first attack since the U.S. struck Iran-aligned militia
targets along the Iraq-Syria border last week, killing killed one
militiaman and stoking fears of a possible repeat of a series of
tit-for-tat attacks that escalated last year, culminating in the U.S.
drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani outside the
Baghdad airport.
Wednesday's attack targeted the same base where Iran struck with a
barrage of missiles in January last year in retaliation for the
killing of Soleimani. Dozens of U.S. service members were injured,
suffering concussions in that strike
