Defense systems shot down an armed drone over the Ain al-Assad airbase, which hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq, Iraqi army sources tell Reuters.
The attack in the early hours of Monday, which the sources say did not cause casualties or damage, is the second one in hours after a drone was shot down yesterday over Erbil airport in northern Iraq where US and other international forces are stationed.
