The sound of eight explosions, followed by the firing of several rockets, was heard from Al-Khalis, the source reported.

Al-Mayadeen also reported that four rockets were fired from the village of Zanboor in the southwest of Al-Khalis city against Balad airbase in the south of Saladin.

This comes as rocket attacks on US positions and the targeting of US logistics convoys in Iraq have intensified over the past year or two.
