The US airbase of Ain al-Asad in Iraq was attacked with Katyusha missiles [MLRS BM-13], Reuters reports, citing two sources in the army.

The mentioned airbase houses American and other international forces in western Iraq.

As a result of the rocket attack, an explosion occurred inside the base, the news agency says.

Reportedly, Ain al-Assad's defense systems intercepted and successfully brought down two drones near the base last Saturday.

The airbase is located in Al-Anbar Governorate, western Iraq.
