Reuters: Iran's missile attack on a US military base in Iraq in January injured more than 100 Americans

More than 100 American soldiers were injured in an Iranian missile attack on a US military base in Iraq in early January. The victims were diagnosed with head injuries, according to Reuters, citing a source.

According to the agency, in the near future, the US military is going to officially confirm that the number of victims has increased. The Pentagon has not yet commented on this.

In January, the US military said 64 people were injured in a missile attack.

• Iran attacked US military bases in Iraq on the night of January 8 in retaliation for the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. On the same night, Iran mistakenly shot down a Boeing 737-800 passenger plane of Ukraine International Airlines, mistaking the liner for an enemy object. The plane crash killed 176 people.
