Shafaq News / A security source reported that two rockets landed in the Balad Air base, north of Baghdad, wounding two people.

Balad air base is one of the bases from which the Global Coalition forces withdrew. It previously contained a small unit of the US Air Force, but now hosts the Iraqi Armed Forces and US Sallyport contractors, tasked with maintaining Iraqi F-16s.
