An Iraqi group releases a video of an aerial attack it recently staged against the second-biggest military base housing US forces in the Arab country.
The group that identified itself as Lawa al-Thaerin launched the attack in the small hours of Friday against the al-Harir base that is located in Erbil, the capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Wayne Marotto, spokesman for the US-led coalition occupying Iraq, confirmed the attack, but claimed that the incident had not caused any damage to the outpost.
BAGHDAD: A drone attack has been carried out on a military base in Iraqi Kurdistan that hosts American troops, without causing any casualties, the US-led coalition said on Saturday.
The attack comes with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi expected to meet US President Joe Biden in Washington on Monday to discuss a possible full US troop withdrawal from his country.
“An unmanned aerial system impacted a coalition base in Kurdistan” in the early hours of Friday, coalition spokesman US Colonel Wayne Marotto said in a statement.
“There were no casualties and no damage as a result of the attack,” he said, adding “the United States and coalition forces will stay vigilant and maintain the inherent right to self-defence.”
