SULAIMANI — The Global Coalition to Defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) said on Wednesday (January 5) five rockets were fired at Ain al-Assad Airbase in Anbar governorate, with the closest landing 2km outside the base.

The coalition said there were no casualties and called the attack a "reckless act,” stating it could have hurt people living in the area.

Two drones targeting the same airbase, which hosts coalition troops, were shot down earlier in the week on Tuesday.

A Katyusha rocket landed at Camp Victory in Baghdad in another incident earlier on Wednesday and security forces discovered a rocket launcher in al-Jihad neighborhood not far from Baghdad International Airport.
