In a brazen attack on Saturday, outlaw militias targeted the US-led coalition Asad Air Base in Anbar Province, west of Iraq, unleashing a barrage of 20 missiles. Local media reports indicate that damages from the assault are yet to be disclosed.

During the air raid, a disturbing development unfolded as a few missiles deviated from their intended trajectory, striking perilously close to the Iraqi 20th Brigade headquarters building.

Asad Air Base, a strategic military installation utilized by the US-led coalition, has become a focal point for such attacks. The assault adds to a disturbing trend that has seen Iran-backed militias launching more than 140 attacks on coalition bases in both Iraq and Syria since mid-October.

The motivation behind these relentless attacks is widely interpreted as a response to perceived support from Washington for Israel during the recent conflict with the Gaza Strip. The primary targets in Iraq have included Asad Air Base in western Iraq, Erbil International Airport, and Harir Air Base.

International observers are closely monitoring the situation, with concerns rising over the escalating tensions in the region. The unpredictability of these attacks raises questions about the stability of the area and the potential implications for diplomatic relations in the broader Middle East. The extent of damages incurred at Asad Air Base remains a critical detail yet to be unveiled, leaving the international community anxiously awaiting further developments in this volatile situation.
