"We are conducting examinations and investigating the extent of brain damage to a number of American soldiers, which was caused by the missile attack on the Ain al-Assad airbase on Saturday evening," the US Central Command said in a statement.
Iraqi resistance forces targeted the American military base "Ain al-Asad" in Anbar province with 40 missiles. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the missile attack on the "Ain al-Assad" base, declaring: "A group of American soldiers suffered a 'concussion' after the Iraqi Resistance's missile attack on the Ain al-Asad base." According to an unnamed American official, several ballistic missiles were used to attack the base. The Islamic Resistance of Iraq claimed responsibility for the missile attack on the US military base in Ain al-Assad.
US Central Command (CENTCOM), in a statement confirming the missile strike on the Ain al-Asad base, said a number of US soldiers were "being assessed for brain damage" following an Iraqi resistance rocket attack on the Ain al-Asad base in western Iraq. According to an unnamed US official, Iraqi resistance forces in Ain al-Assad used several ballistic missiles (TBMs). The Iraqi Islamic Resistance, publishing a statement, claimed responsibility for the missile attack on the American military base in Ain al-Assad. Following the Zionist regime's brutal attacks and crimes against the oppressed Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, and Washington's support for these attacks, Iraqi resistance groups warned America that they would attack the country's bases in the region. The Iraqi Islamic Resistance also emphasized the need to continue attacks on US occupying forces and their bases.
A Centcom statement said air defenses of US troops stationed at the base intercepted most of the missiles, but the attack wounded an Iraqi soldier. The statement claimed: “Pro-Iranian Groups fired several rockets and ballistic missiles at the Ain al-Assad base and we are assessing the damage.” An American official, who asked not to be named, confirmed in a conversation with the media that the country's soldiers received varying degrees of injuries during a major attack on the Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq. Fox News also reported that the missiles targeting the Ain al-Assad base were fired from Iraq. On Saturday evening, the Iraqi Islamic Resistance group, publishing a statement, claimed responsibility for a large-scale missile attack on the location of the American occupiers in Ain al-Assad and emphasized that it would continue attacks on the American military.
