The U.S. military confirms a drone attack in northern Iraq, near a base that houses American troops.

U.N. military spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve said the drone attacked Erbil airport with explosives, according to a Reuters report.

The base is adjacent to Erbil’s civilian airport, which is home to American troops and the American Embassy in Baghdad, which was attacked by a drone in a separate attack on Monday, the military said Tuesday night.

No injuries, casualties or damage have been reported from the attack.
