In the last 24 hours, the U.S. military defended against three drones near U.S. and Coalition forces in Iraq. 

In western Iraq, U.S. forces engaged two drones, destroying one and damaging the second, resulting in minor injuries to Coalition forces.

 Separately in northern Iraq, U.S. forces engaged and destroyed a drone, resulting in no injuries or damage. 


We are continuing to assess the impacts to operations.

In this moment of heightened alert, we are vigilantly monitoring the situation in Iraq and the region. We want to emphasize U.S. forces will defend U.S. and Coalition forces against any threat,as noted.
