Al Jazeera quoted officials and military sources on Sunday evening, adding that at least, four Iraqi airmen were wounded.
According to the report, some shells hit the runway of the Balad airbase while another shell struck the gate.
Colonel Mohammed Khalil, a police officer in the northern Iraqi province of Saladin, said, “Three Iraqi soldiers, who were on guard at the airbase gate, were injured as a result of the shelling.
No group or individual has laid claim to the attack so far.
The attack comes amid tensions between America and Iran over the last two weeks resulting mainly from the death of Qassem Soleimani, an Iranian army General killed by the US government.

ReplyDeleteOne reason could be to ensure they don't acquire nuclear weapon. If they did, terrorism to the world would be at an all time high. For instance, if you are considered an infidel, the region would be bombed with the nuclear weapon they have.
