Drone attack reported on US base in Iraq’s Erbil

Iraqi sources announced that the Al-Harir Air Base, where the American forces are stationed, was targeted by a drone attack.

Harir Air Base is an airbase located near Harir, Erbil Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

According to Iraqi security forces, no casualties have been reported yet.

Issuing a statement, a group named “Al-Warithin-Al-Aqsa Storm Support Operation Room” took responsibility for this operation.

Earlier on Wednesday morning, two US officials claimed that the US military thwarted an attack targeting its forces in Iraq.

The US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to say who was suspected of the attack, according to Reuters.

The one-way attack drones were intercepted as they attempted to strike the air base, the officials claimed.

After the martyrdom of Resistance commanders who led the anti-terrorism fight in Iraq and Syria, the Iraqi parliament approved a piece of legislation to call for the withdrawal of American troops from the country, a demand that the US troops have yet to meet.
