Singh did not have a number of troops still being monitored for possible TBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iranian-backed Militants Attack Al-Assad Airbase, Iraq<br><br>At approximately 6:30 p.m. (Baghdad time) time Jan. 20, multiple ballistic missiles and rockets were launched by Iranian-backed militants in Western Iraq targeting al-Assad Airbase. Most of the missiles were intercepted by\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rYaNrRdRtu\">pic.twitter.com\/rYaNrRdRtu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/1748831942299246640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 20, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saturday\u2019s attack was somewhat unprecedented in the amount of ordnance launched at al-Asad, Singh said, but she confirmed that militias have used ballistic missiles in attacks before. Singh also declined to say whether the barrage, as it was carried out, represents an escalation of the conflict between U.S. troops and Iran-backed militias in Iraq. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The attack is one of more than 151 launched on bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17, shortly after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/10\/31\/300-us-troops-headed-to-middle-east-amid-israel-hamas-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">the U.S. sent aircraft carriers, Air Force fighter squadrons and other troops<\/a> to the Middle East following Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7 attack on Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of troops injured service members during that time period has risen to 71, according to numbers shared by the Pentagon as they occurred. Though attacks had steadily continued, before Saturday no troops had been injured since a Dec. 25 attack on al-Asad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iraq\u2019s prime minister made headlines earlier this month calling for a drawdown of 2,500 troops who have been rotating into Iraq since late 2021, as part of the latest phase of the mission to defeat ISIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside
