A series of rocket and drone attacks targeted U.S. and coalition bases in Iraq and Syria, resulting in multiple injuries among U.S. service members and prompting retaliatory strikes by U.S. forces. The initial attack occurred at the Green Village base in northeastern Syria, with subsequent reports indicating that Iranian-backed forces were responsible. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack near the Al-Omar Oil Field, marking at least 120 attacks on U.S. bases in the region. Another attack was reported on the Harir base in Erbil, northern Iraq, causing injuries and casualties. Operations at Erbil Airport were temporarily suspended after a drone was shot down nearby. U.S. Central Command confirmed that several injuries occurred as a result of the attacks, with one service member in critical condition and one serviceman killed. In response, the U.S. Air Force conducted airstrikes on Kataib Hezbollah facilities and other groups in Iraq, causing multiple casualties among the militia members. The Baghdad government condemned the U.S. strikes, which resulted in the death of one Iraqi serviceman and injuries to 18 others.
