Rocket fire struck an air base south of Mosul, Iraq where U.S. troops are housed, but none were injured in the attack.
Iraqi officials spoke anonymously to the Associated Press and said it was not initially clear if there were casualties from the rockets, which originated from Mosul and appeared to target the base 38 miles south in Qayyara.
However, later reports indicated no U.S. troops were injured in the attack.
“Coalition forces are in Iraq at the invitation of the Government of Iraq to defeat ISIS remnants,†U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Marisa Roberts told the AP. “We will not be deterred by these attacks and maintain the right to defend ourselves.â€
