A suicide drone crashed inside a base belonging to Iraq’s 14th Army Division in Makhmour district west of Erbil, injuring three soldiers, according to local Iraqi media reports Thursday.

Initial information indicated that the drone fell inside the base, causing a blaze at the site.

Further details about the incident were not immediately available.

The attack came as the US and Israel continued airstrikes on Iran that began Feb. 28, killing more than 1,200 people and injuring over 10,000 others.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Iraq, and Gulf countries that are home to US military assets.
