At least five US personnel were injured in a rocket attack on the Ain al-Assad airbase in western Iraq on August 6. Two Katyusha rockets struck the base, with one landing inside the facility. This incident follows recent tensions after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Israeli strikes in Lebanon. The White House has been briefed, and a damage assessment is in progress. Iraq condemned the attack, emphasizing its stance against violence targeting diplomatic and military sites.
