Iraqi Resistance Group Stages Drone Attack on Base Housing US Fighters

Iraqi Resistance Group Stages Drone Attack on Base Housing US Fighters. Sabereen News, a news channel associated with Iraq’s anti-terror Popular Mobilization Units or Hashd Al-Sha’abi, said the attack targeted the Al-Balad Airbase, North of the capital, on Wednesday. It reported the sound of explosion rang out of the base during the incident, adding, “An Iraqi resistance group, which did not identify itself, claimed responsibility for the attack.” “The American military branch that is deployed to the Al-Balad Airbase was targeted with drone moments earlier, and the aircraft hit its target accurately,” read a statement by the anti-occupation group carried by the news channel. The kamikaze aircraft are the most recent addition to the arsenal of the Iraqi groups, who strongly object to the US’s continued military intervention in their country. The airbase came under another attack around a week ago, which, according to Americans, wounded “two Iraqi forces”, but did not afflict any casualties on the US troops
