Tehran fired more than dozen ballistic missiles early hours on Wednesday at least two Iraqi military bases, but the official casualties remain unknown.

Ain Al-Assad military base in Iraq’s Anbar province and another military base in Iraqi Kurdistan’s capital of Erbil became under ballistic attacks by Iran. Both bases are known to host US-led coalition forces.

Denmark, Poland, Germany and Norway as members of coalition forces announced that none of their forces were killed or wounded in these attacks.  

There has been no official statement from US regarding the attacks, but US President Donald Trump wrote on twitter “All is well!” hours after the attack. He added that “Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good!”

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps released a statement on Wednesday and claimed that their missiles killed 80 Americans, but has not provided any evidence so far.

The number of casualties announced by Iran has not been confirmed or denied officially by US. CNN said in a report that it seems there are no significant damages.
