The American al-Harir air base in northern Iraq was attacked by armed drones, which was preceded by alarm signals at the US embassy in Baghdad. Reuters agency reports. According to the sources of the agency, the horns were activated at the US Embassy on the evening of November 8, but there were no reports of any damage to the building or casualties. A spokesperson for the US Embassy and an Iraqi government official have not yet commented. The group called "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" claimed the responsibility for the attack against al-Harir air base. According to the statement of the group, two UAVs targeted al-Harir air base. The bases of American and international forces located in Iraq and on the border with Syria have been subjected to dozens of attacks during the more than a month-long war between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement. US officials stated that the strikes did not reach their targets due to strong defense systems. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for most of the attacks, saying they were carried out in response to US support for Israel in the current Israel-Hamas conflict. The Prime Minister of Iraq promised to pursue those responsible for the attack on the US and coalition military bases.
