Two rockets hit an Iraq base hosting US and other Nato troops on Tuesday, Iraq's military said. The rockets slammed into the Besmaya base south of Baghdad late Monday night, a statement by the military said, making no mention of casualties. Spanish forces linked to the US-led coalition fighting ISIS, as well as NATO training forces, are present in Besmaya. The attack is the third in less than a week after rocket fire killed two American soldiers and a British solider last Wednesday and then more American and Iraqi troops were wounded in another attack on Saturday. On Friday, the US responded to Wednesday's incident by launching strikes on a number of targets in central Iraq that they said were operated by Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi militia backed by Iran. Iraq made an official complaint over the US strikes saying they were carried out without first coordinating with officials in Baghdad and that they killed Iraqi military personnel and a civilian.
