BAGHDAD \u2014 A drone strike early on Saturday targeted a military base in Iraq that hosts U.S. troops, causing only minor damage and no casualties, Iraq\u2019s military and the U.S.-led coalition said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pre-dawn attack damaged a hangar at al-Asad Air Base, tweeted coalition spokesman Col. Wayne Marotto. He said the attack was under investigation. An Iraqi military statement also said no losses were reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. The U.S. has blamed Iran-backed militia groups for previous attacks, most of them rocket attacks that have targeted the American presence in Baghdad and military bases across Iraq<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Drone strikes are less common. In mid-April, an explosive-laden drone<\/a> targeted the military section of the international airport in Irbil, in Iraq\u2019s northern Kurdish-run region, causing no casualties or damages. The base also hosts U.S. troops. <\/p>\n\n\n\t
