Two US bases in Iraq were hit by missiles and drones, with the US-led coalition admitting casualties in attack on Ain Al-Asad base.

Iraqi media reported that several drones and missiles hit Ain Al-Asad base in Al-Anbar province before dawn on Wednesday.

30 missiles hit the base with several explosions were heard in the region, Iraqi media reported.

For its part, the US-led coalition confirmed that the base was subjected to missile attack, admitting 3 servicemen were injured, RT reported.

Earlier, a military base hosting US-led coalition forces inside Erbil International Airport in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region came under attack by explosive-laden drones.

Citing security sources, Iraqi media reported that the military base inside Erbil airport was “subjected to an attack by explosive-laden drones” late on Tuesday, with reports falling short of providing details on the number of possible casualties or the extent of damage.

The entire passengers were evacuated from the planes at Erbil International Airport, as reports indicated, and the lights were switched off in addition to closing the airspace over the airport.

Iraqi media and news agencies also quoted the Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service as saying that the attack on the military base was carried out by “two booby-trapped drones.”
