A base in northern Iraq housing American troops has reportedly been struck by several rockets.

According to some Iraqi sources, four Katyusha rockets hit the Al-Taji base.

The Pentagon issued a statement, reaffirming that it had targeted the positions of Hezbollah Brigades of the PMU. In the statement, the State Department claimed the attack was in response to repeated strikes on Iraqi bases hosting coalition troops.
