Iraqi media outlets have reported an explosion at the Taji military base, which houses US forces, located north of the capital Baghdad.

Iraq News Network stated that the base came under a missile attack.  

Al-Nujaba TV, affiliated with Iraq’s Al-Nujaba Movement, also reported an unspecified explosion at the Taji base.  

Al-Ghadir TV added that the explosion reportedly occurred in an ammunition depot, triggering a massive fire at the site.  

This incident comes as global attention remains focused on the region, with Iranian armed forces having launched a missile barrage at American military bases in Qatar in a retaliatory operation a day after Iranian nuclear sites were targeted by US bombers.
