Two suicide drones launched at a base hosting U.S. troops in Iraq have been intercepted, according to a defense official. Hours later, an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq announced it had launched another drone attack on a second base. No injuries have been reported in either incident.
BEIRUT — Two suicide drones launched at a base hosting U.S. troops in Iraq were intercepted Wednesday, a defense official said.
The salvos came at a time of increasing tension and fears of a broader regional war in the wake of the latest Hamas-Israel war. Following Tuesday night’s blast that killed hundreds at a hospital in Gaza, the group issued another statement in which it blamed the U.S. and its support for Israel for the catastrophe and called for an end to the U.S. presence in Iraq.
No group claimed responsibility for the first drone attack Wednesday. A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment to the press, confirmed the attack and interception but would not say which base was targeted.
