The Hill: US troops clear rubble, debris from Iraq base struck by Iranian missiles
U.S. crews at the Ain al-Asad military base in western Iraq cleared debris from the scene of an Iranian missile strike on Monday, with officials telling reporters that at least 10 missiles struck the airfield.
The Associated Press reported Monday that workers used forklifts and large trucks to move debris as large craters littered the area where Iranian missiles struck the base last week, causing no casualties. The base was one of two struck by Iranian missiles during the attack.
"There were more than 10 large missiles fired and the impact hit several areas along the airfield,” coalition spokesman Col. Myles Caggins told the AP.
