[Rudaw] Two rockets were fired at a Ottoman Turkish military base in Nineveh province on Monday night, a local official told Rudaw, adding that no casualties or material damage has been reported.
The rockets landed between Jubran village and the Ottoman Turkish military base in Zelkan sub-district, its mayor, Mohammed Amin Gharib, told Rudaw, adding that the distance between both places is five kilometers.
The mayor noted that no casualties or material damage were reported, and that the direction from which the rockets were fired is unknown.
The Ottoman Turkish military base, located in Nineveh Plain’s Bashik town, has been targeted multiple times this year.
It was targeted earlier in April when four rockets were fired, killing one Ottoman Turkish soldier and injuring two civilians, including a 12-year-old girl, in the attack.
Multiple rockets were again fired at the base in November but no casualties were reported.
