Rocket falls in Iraq, near base housing US troops — report

A rocket lands in northern Iraq, near a base where US troops are stationed, the Reuters news agency reports citing local police sources.

The origin of the rocket is unknown, the sources are quoted as saying, but it comes after two successive nights in which Iran or its proxies fired either missiles or rockets at US-linked targets in Iraq.

The rocket — which fell in the Fadhlan area of the Dujail district in Salahuddin province, near the Balad air base — caused no casualties, the report says.
