Base in Iraq hosting UK and US troops hit by Iranian drones A British base in Iraq has come under attack from Iranian drones, wounding a number of American soldiers. British air-defence troops destroyed two drones, but other devices evaded defences and struck an air base in Erbil, northern Iraq, on Wednesday night, defence chiefs revealed on Thursday. It marks the third successful strike against British forces since war began nearly two weeks ago.
