The Pentagon on Wednesday announced that early in the morning, U.S. forces intercepted several aerial drones that were headed toward American troops currently stationed in Iraq at two different air bases.
"An attempted attack against U.S. and Coalition forces in Iraq was disrupted in the early morning of Oct. 18," Col. Sean Heidgerken of U.S. Central Command told The Hill in a statement. "Two one-way drones were shot down in the attack. There were no injuries to any forces during the attempted attack."
The United States currently has roughly 2,500 troops stationed in Iraq, with a further 900 in Syria. U.S. officials have voiced concerns about rising tensions in the region following the attack on Israel by Hamas and the ensuing war, in which thousands have died.
