The Turkish base in Iraq’s northern Nineveh Plains came under at least nine rounds of rockets on Thursday afternoon without causing any damages or causalities, the Kurdistan Region’s counter-terrorism group said.
The Grad-type rockets fell in the peripheries of the base, housing Turkish troops, the Directorate General of Counter Terrorism (CTD) of the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC), said in a statement.
Launched from an area between Faziliya and Kanuna villages, the rockets were fired on a launchpad set on a KIA truck, the security forces revealed.
The anti-terror group said that the vehicle has been burnt down by the effects of the firing.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
