SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq — In retaliation for the killing of Iran's Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired dozens of ballistic missiles at two US military bases in Iraq. No causalities have been reported.

In the early morning of Jan. 8 local time, “Iran launched more than a dozen ballistic missiles against US military and coalition forces in Iraq,” Jonathan Hoffman, assistant to the secretary of US Department of Defense for Public Affairs, said in a statement. “It is clear that these missiles were launched from Iran and targeted at least two Iraqi military bases hosting US military and coalition personnel at Al-Assad and Erbil. We are working on initial battle damage assessments.”

The Iraqi military tweeted that 22 missiles hit the country, 17 of which targeted the Ain al-Assad air base in western Iraq's Anbar province. Another two fell near the Hitan area west of Hit city and didn't explode. Five missiles hit Ebil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq. The military statement did not identify the location from which the missiles were launched.

The missiles targeted a US military base near Erbil International Airport, but one of the rockets fell short of the airport and did not explode. Another fell near the town of Bardarash, 70 kilometers (43 miles) north of Erbil and 32 kilometers (20 miles) northeast of Mosul.
