[Regnum] At least 15 missiles were fired from Iraq at a US base in Syria, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.

“On December 3, fifteen 122 mm rockets were fired from Iraq at the US base in Rumeilan in Syria,” CENTCOM’s X social media page said.

It is noted that there were no casualties among base personnel or damage to equipment.

The task force located the location from which the rockets were fired and provided intelligence to Iraqi security forces.

As Regnum reported , earlier a kamikaze drone attacked a US military base located north of the provincial center of Erbil. Responsibility for the attack was claimed by the Shiite movement "Islamic Resistance of Iraq", which previously announced that after the breakdown of the humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip, militants resumed hostilities against American military bases located in the region.

There are about one thousand American troops in Syria, and another 2.5 thousand people are stationed in Iraq.
