As Washington braces for an attack on Israel, at least five US personnel were injured in an attack against a military base in Iraq on August 5. Two Katyusha rockets were fired at Ain al-Asad airbase in western Iraq, one of which fell inside the base, two Iraqi security sources said. Hours later, on the morning of August 6, another attack on Ain al-Asad was reported without details about new possible casualties. Meanwhile, Iran’s Mehr news outlet reported that two American soldiers were killed in the attack. The US said that the attack by Iranian proxies on an Ain al-Asad airbase housing US troops in Iraq marks “a dangerous escalation”.
