Ten Katyusha rockets hit the Taji air base north of Baghdad on Wednesday, March 11, Iraq’s army said, with U.S. and British soldiers reported killed in the attack.

The rockets hit the Iraqi base located 27 km (17 miles) north of the capital Baghdad, which also houses U.S. troops, the Iraqi Security Media Cell said.

A Kia Bongo flatbed truck with a missile platform was found in the nearby Al-Rashidiyya area with three rockets on board, the army said.

It was unclear if there were any injuries and the extent of the damage to the airfield, but the Associated Press and Fox News reported that three people were killed, including two U.S. troops. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin said a British troop was also killed.

Colonel Myles Caggins III, spokesperson for the U.S.-led Coalition against ISIS, tweeted: “The Coalition … confirms more than 15 small rockets impacted Iraq’s Camp Taji base hosting Coalition troops, March 11 at 7:35 p.m. (Iraq Time). Assessment and investigation ongoing.”

On Tuesday, General Kenneth McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, said that the U.S. was moving air defense systems into Iraq after discussions with the caretaker government. The U.S. has blamed Katib Hezbollah, a Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) militia, for repeated attacks targeting its bases in Iraq and the American embassy in Baghdad.

Iraqi bases housing Coalition forces came under rocket fire late on January 4, the 13th such attack in two months, prompting the U.S. military to halt training of the Iraqi Security Forces and joint operations against ISIS.

The Iraqi army did not say who fired the rockets on Wednesday.

U.S. strikes on Kataib Hezbollah positions in Iraq and Syria and the killing of the de facto PMU leader Abul Mahdi al-Muhandis, had prompted the Iraqi government to close its airspace to American military flights and call for foreign forces to leave the country, but the U.S.-led Coalition against ISIS resumed operations with the Iraqi Security Forces in late January.

It’s in response to the US installing Rocket Defense Systems to defend its Bases. I guess they are trying to get some off before the Systems are fully deployed. The militias are getting beat up and it’s going to get a lot worse for them. Think ISIS. They are going to be gone from Iraq and that will go a LONG way to getting a stable sovereign country. Next will be to run the Iran stooges Iraqi Politicians  out of country after they recoup the Billions stolen from the people of Iraq.

An Iraqi military base, which houses US forces, was targeted by rockets on Wednesday, Anadolu reports.

Al-Taji military airbase, located 85 kilometres (some 53 miles) north of capital Baghdad, was targeted by 10 Katyusha rockets, Iraq’s state-run Security Media Network said in a statement.

The airbase houses joint forces including Iraqi and American soldiers as well as other foreign forces from the US-led international coalition.

No casualties or damages have been reported yet.
