Three American officials told Reuters on Monday that several U.S. forces were injured in a rocket attack on the Ain al-Assad military base in Iraq.
They stated that this information is preliminary and subject to change.
Earlier, Reuters reported, citing security sources, about the firing of two rockets at the Ain al-Assad base in Iraq. Al-Arabiya network also reported, citing Iraqi security sources, that eight rockets were fired towards the base, intercepted and destroyed.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, and there have been no reports of potential casualties or damages.
This incident comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, and ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The region has been witnessing increased military activities and retaliatory actions, exacerbated by political instability and regional power struggles.
The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh has sparked protests and condemnation across various Middle Eastern countries, with many condemning the act as a violation of international law and sovereignty. Hamas and the Iranian regime have vowed retaliation, further escalating tensions in the region.
In Gaza, the conflict between Hamas and Israeli forces has intensified, leading to significant civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. International efforts for ceasefire negotiations have been ongoing but have yet to yield a sustainable peace agreement.
The situation remains fluid and volatile, with global stakeholders closely monitoring developments and calling for de-escalation to prevent further humanitarian crises and instability in the Middle East.
