Several US personnel were injured in a suspected rocket attack today against US and coalition forces at Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq, a US defence official said.
"We can confirm that there was a suspected rocket attack today against US and Coalition forces at Al-Asad Airbase, Iraq," the official said. "Initial indications are that several US personnel were injured. Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment."
The attack comes amid extremely high tensions in the Middle East, as the US has been bracing for Iranian retaliation against Israel over the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week.
