US troops in Iraq targeted by drones, marking 25th attack in past 2 weeks: report
The Pentagon placed 2,000 U.S. troops on a 24-hour notice to deploy. U.S. forces in western Iraq were targeted in another drone attack early Tuesday morning, according to a report, marking the latest in a string of assaults on American troops in the Middle East as the Israel-Hamas war continues. Two armed drones were used against Iraq's Ain al-Asad airbase, Reuters reported, citing a security source and a government source. The base hosts international troops that assist Iraq in defeating a terror group called the Daesh, or the Islamic State. No casualties or damage were reported.
