An unspecified number of U.S. military personnel were injured in a Saturday attack by Iranian-backed militants on an airbase in western Iraq, authorities said.
The attack on the Al-Assad airbase occurred at about 6:30 p.m. Baghdad time (10:30 am EST) and involved the use of ballistic missiles and rockets, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement. The air defense system intercepted most, but not all, of the missiles, according to the statement.
A number of U.S. personnel are undergoing evaluation for traumatic brain injuries. At least one Iraqi service member was wounded,” the statement noted.
