An Iraqi Taji base housing US troops has been targeted in a rocket attack that severely injured Iraqi soldiers, the nation’s military confirmed. They also warned that the strike does not warrant a retaliation by foreign powers.

As many as 33 Katyushar rockets have been launched at the base located north of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The strike left several Iraqi air defense soldiers “critically injured,” according to the military statement. It is unclear if any US personnel have been affected.
