ERBIL, Iraq (AA) - Multiple missiles targeted on Saturday Iraq's Ain al-Asad military base, which houses US troops, sources said.

More details were not immediately available, but the attack comes amid soaring tensions in the Middle East following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Israel.

There have been dozens of attacks on US and coalition forces in Iraq recently, and many of them have been claimed by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq group.
