ISTANBUL, Sept 2 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced Wednesday that it carried out a missile and drone attack on US bases in Iraq, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
It claimed that some US military facilities and equipment were destroyed in the attacks.
The IRGC said missile and drone strikes on US bases in Erbil were carried out in retaliation for overnight US attacks.
It claimed that a maintenance centre and technical equipment storage facilities belonging to the US military were destroyed, and the guidance system of an American surveillance balloon inside the base was also hit.
