Two U.S. defense officials have confirmed to Fox News that the U.S. intercepted two one-way attack drones targeting Iraq’s al-Asad air base where American troops are located.
The incident happened early Wednesday morning local time. No injuries have been reported.
Reuters first reported the thwarted attack, citing two U.S. officials who said the two drones were intercepted before they could strike.
The officials who spoke on condition on anonymity declined to say who was believed to have been responsible for sending the one-way drones toward the base hosting American troops.
