There are no casualties in the attack, further details will be announced

A drone attack targeted a section of the Taji military base operated by the Iraqi army north of the capital Baghdad, authorities said Tuesday.

Lieutenant General Walid al-Tamimi, head of Baghdad Operations Command, told Iraq's official news agency INA that an unidentified drone struck a location inside the base.

He confirmed that there were no casualties in the attack and noted that further details will be announced at a later time.

Some local media outlets claimed that the drone targeted a French-made radar system stationed at the base.

Previously used by the US-led international coalition forces, the base was handed over to the Iraqi army in 2020.
