No casualties reported after US-led coalition military base in Iraq's Baghdad attacked with rockets
Three rockets hit the base on Monday night, but no casualties were reported, Iraq's military said in a statement. It comes after Katyusha rockets hit the Besmaya base on Friday and caused some material damage, but no casualties, the Iraqi military said.
A number of rocket and mortar attacks have hit bases hosting coalition forces and landed near the US Embassy in Baghdad in recent months. The latest uptick in attacks comes shortly before Iraq embarks on strategic talks with the US in which the presence of American forces in the country is expected to top the agenda.
The US has criticised Iraq’s federal government for being unable to reign in Iran-backed militia groups it believes are orchestrating the attacks. Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al Kadhimi has pledged to protect American installations from attacks, US officials said.
