Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – An official in the Joint Operations Command in Iraq revealed on Tuesday that a second attack targeted Ain Al-Asad airbase, which houses US forces, in the western Iraqi governorate of Anbar.
The Iraqi security official told Al-Ain News that five missiles launched by armed groups supported by Iran targeted Ain Al-Asad airbase, where the international coalition forces led by the United States are stationed.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) is expected to issue a statement denouncing these attacks in light of his government’s efforts to reach an agreement with the United States to set a timetable for the withdrawal of US forces from the country, according to the security source.
Earlier on Monday, an armed militia affiliated with the Kataeb Hezbollah targeted Ain Al-Asad airbase, the security official added.
