SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Two rockets fell near a base hosting U.S.-led Coalition troops in western Iraq, without causing casualties or damages, security sources said.

“Two rockets fell outside the Iraqi base of Ain al-Asad,” a security forces statement said, according to AFP.

It added that there were no “losses.”

The base, controlled by Iraq, is located in the desert in the western Anbar province and hosts foreign troops from the coalition fighting ISIS.

AFP cited a coalition official as saying that there was “no impact on the installation reported” and “no coalition personnel injuries reported.”

A previously unknown group calling itself “International Resistance” claimed the attack on a pro-Iran channel of messaging app Telegram, according to AFP.
