Iraqi military bases hosting US troops in Anbar province and capital Baghdad hit by Katyusha rockets; several rounds of fire land inside a base with members of US-led coalition in eastern Syria

According to an Iraqi officer, an Iraqi base housing US troops in the western Anbar province was hit with five Katyusha rockets on Wednesday evening; three other rockets fell outside the base's parametre. Coalition forces, acting on intelligence, responded by firing six rounds of artillery towards the point of origin of the attack just outside the eastern town of Mayadeen, a stronghold of Iran-backed fighters, the statement said.
