BAGHDAD: Defense systems shot down an armed drone over Ain Assad air base that hosts US and other international forces in western Iraq, Iraqi army sources told Reuters on Monday.
The attack in the early hours of Monday, which the sources said did not cause casualties or damage, is the second one in hours after a drone was shot down on Sunday over Irbil airport in northern Iraq where US and other international forces are stationed.
