From Fox News: Four rockets struck Thursday near Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq, which houses U.S. troops, but there were no reported injuries, and there was no damage to the base, Fox News has learned.
A U.S. defense official told Fox News none of the rockets landed inside the base.
The attack comes just days after U.S. and Iraqi officials met at a Pentagon summit to discuss when the coalition against ISIS in Iraq could end and transition to a bilateral security relationship with some U.S. troops likely remaining.
Iraqi factions aligned with Iran have called on all 2,500 U.S. troops that remain in the country to withdraw.
