A rocket attack was launched Thursday against Ain Al-Asad airbase, which houses U.S. troops. No one was injured and the base wasn't damaged, an official said.
Four rockets hit near Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq, which houses U.S. troops on Thursday, but there were no injuries and no damage to the base, Fox News has learned. A U.S. defense official told Fox News that none of the rockets landed inside the base. The attack comes just days after U.S. and Iraqi officials met at a Pentagon summit to discuss when the coalition against ISIS in Iraq could end and transition into a bilateral security relationship with some U.S. troops likely remaining.
fighter jets from the United States and Canada conducted the interception. Iran-backed factions in Iraq have targeted U.S. troops at bases in the country dozens of times since the start of the Israel-Gaza War last October, with a slowdown since February. Fox News' Stephany Prince and Reuters contributed to this report.
