BAGHDAD, June 24 (Xinhua) -- The Iraqi military said early Tuesday that two unidentified drones struck an Iraqi military base north of Baghdad, causing no casualties.
"An unidentified drone targeted a radar in the Taji military base, and another landed near a generator in the same area, and there are no human casualties," Major General Saad Maan, spokesman for the Security Media Cell, a media outlet affiliated with the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, told reporters in a voice message.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Walid al-Tamimi, commander of Baghdad Operations, confirmed the attack to the official Iraqi News Agency.
The drone attack came amid heightened regional tensions and instability fueled by the Israeli-Iranian conflict and a recent escalation involving the U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. ■
