The Times of Israel explains:
A US Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
on a rocket launcher last night foiled an attack on Ain al-Asad airbase, which hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq, two Iraqi army sources say.

Iraqi military sources say a rocket launcher fixed on the back of a small truck had been parked in a rural area about 7 kilometers (4 miles) to the east of the base, with at least two rockets ready to be fired toward Ain al-Asad.

The US airstrike destroyed the launcher, an army official says.

US-led coalition officials are not immediately available to comment on the strike.
