Prensa Latina – At least four shells hit US military positions in Iraq, according to a statement released today by the Arab country’s government’s Security Information Cell.
The note specifies that four Katyusha-type rockets hit the US enclave of Besmaya, which houses a contingent from the international anti-Daesh coalition (Arabic acronym for Islamic State), led by the Pentagon.
One fell into a warehouse within the perimeter of the base, another between vehicles from the protective caravans of the facilities and the remaining two in open space.
The report reports material damage, but not fatalities at the base located about 10 kilometers from this capital.
The Iraqi authorities did not specify the origin of the attack.
Commanders of the anti-Daesh coalition said a group of soldiers from the bombed enclave began to abandon the position, which is hosting Spanish, Portuguese and British troops.
