"Your resistance, Ahrar al-Iraq Brigade, claims responsibility for targeting the base of the Ottoman Turkish occupiers in Zelikan with four 122mm Grad rockets

According to the statement, the rockets landed inside the base at 0900 pm (Iraq time).

The attack is the first of its kind under the new government of Mohammad Shia al-Sudani.
