Missile bombing targets Ain al-Assad base in Iraq’s Anbar

QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday, rockets landed near Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center (BDSC) in the Iraqi Anbar Province.

In conjunction with the bombing, the American forces activated the sirens at the Ain al-Assad base in Anbar Governorate, where they are located.

A security source told Shafaq News, that a state of maximum alert at al-Assad base included activating the sirens and warning to take precautions in anticipation of missile attacks.

Global Coalition Spokesman Colonel Wayne Marotto, said in a tweet, “each attack against the GoI, KRI and the Coalition undermines the authority of Iraqi institutions, the rule of law and Iraqi National sovereignty.”

The bombing coincided with the inauguration of the Victoria Military Base at Baghdad International Airport, with a defense system that included the entire base, which was targeted by missiles.

The military part of Baghdad International Airport includes international forces, including American forces, as well as Iraqi forces.
