THE TOPLINE: U.S. troops in Iraq again come under rocket fire Wednesday, this time with two getting minor injuries. Fourteen rockets were launched at al Asad Air Base in western Iraq at about 12:30 p.m. local time, Col. Wayne Marotto, the spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition Operation Inherent Resolve, confirmed on Twitter. Marotto said the rockets landed on the base and its perimeter, and force defensive measures were activated. He later tweeted that all of the personnel at the base were accounted for following the attack, though “two personnel sustained minor injuries” and damage is still to be assessed.
