American forces conducted a defensive airstrike in Iraq after rockets were launched near Ain al-Asad airbase, where U.S. troops are stationed.
The airstrike targeted individuals attempting to launch unmanned aerial vehicles, which were deemed a threat to U.S. and allied forces.
The strike emphasizes the United States' commitment to protecting its personnel and reaffirms its right to self-defense.
This action follows a recent incident where four rockets were launched near the airbase, though none landed inside the base and there were no reported injuries.
