Several suicide drones struck multiple Iraqi military sites and bases early Tuesday, which damaged radar systems at two bases, the Iraqi military said.
Sabah al-Numan, spokesperson for the commander-in-chief of the Iraqi forces, said in a statement that the attacks occurred between 2:15 a.m. (2315 GMT) and 3:45 a.m. (0045 GMT) local time, at the Camp Taji north of Baghdad and the Imam Ali Base in Dhi Qar province in southern Iraq.
The attacks resulted in substantial damage to the radar systems at both bases but caused no human casualties, al-Numan said.
Iraqi forces successfully repelled and thwarted all other attempted attacks on four additional sites across various locations, intercepting the drones and downing them before they could reach their intended targets, the statement added.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani, also commander-in-chief of the Iraqi forces, ordered the formation of a high-level technical and intelligence committee to investigate the attacks and identify the perpetrators, al-Numan said.
