A news report today (Saturday) reported that a base housing American forces in Iraq was attacked by two drones. The Iraqi Al-Sumaria TV reported that the attack targeted the Harir base in Erbil, the capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, but said that “it has not yet been confirmed whether there were human casualties.”

On Wednesday, the US Army thwarted an attack with two drones that attempted to target the Ain al-Asad air base in Anbar, Iraq, amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas, which prompted Washington to raise its alert level in anticipation of any attacks that might be supported or directed by Iran.
