BAGHDAD, Jan 8, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – A total of 22 missiles struck two bases
housing US troops, but there were no Iraqi casualties, the Iraqi military
said Wednesday after the overnight attack.
“Between 1:45 am and 2:15 am (2245 GMT and 2315 GMT) Iraq was hit by 22
missiles, 17 on the Ain al-Asad air base and … five on the city of Arbil,”
the Iraqi military command said in a statement, adding they hit sites being
used by the US-led international coalition.
“There were no victims among the Iraqi forces,” the military said,
referring to the attack carried out by Iran in retaliation for the US killing
of a top Iranian general.
