Drones Target Ain Al-Asad Military Base Housing US Forces in western Iraq
News - Middle East - Iraq: Unmanned aerial vehicles have reportedly struck a major airbase in Iraq’s western province of Anbar, where American military forces and trainers are stationed.
Two combat drones hit targets inside Ain al-Asad about 160 km west of Baghdad on Sunday morning, said Sabereen News, a Telegram news channel associated with Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units better known by the Arabic name as Hashd al-Sha’abi.
The report said C-RAM and Patriot missile systems deployed at the base were not able to intercept the aircraft.
The Security Media Cell affiliated with the Iraqi prime minister’s office, however, said the drones had been shot down.
