At 0720 local time this morning at least 10 122mm rockets were fired at Ain Al-Assad Airbase, #Iraq. A local contractor reportedly died due to a heart attack because of the attack. Image
In September 2020 an attack against #Erbil Airport, #Iraq was conducted in similar fashion (two images included), the third image was shared by local militant media several weeks before of the suspected 122mm munition. ImageImageImage
CRAM was active this morning and engaged several of the rockets, success rate is currently unknown and I’ll update accordingly. We can assume the intention of at least 10 rockets were to be fired from the launch vehicle due to the photo released.
Footage of the launch vehicle on fire after the attack, usual process of burning it after use.
Some additional imagery without watermarks over 90% of the image. 🙃 ImageImageImage
a single wave of rockets was launched towards Ain Al-Assad in the early hours of the morning, 10 x 122mm rockets were launched.
Confirmation has been issued by the DoD that a #US civilian contractor died due to suffering a cardiac episode whilst sheltering from the rocket attack in the early hours of this morning.
