The Aftermath Of Iran's Missile Attack On An Iraqi Base Housing U.S. Troops

Damage from some of the ballistic missiles fired by Iran is visible at Ain al-Assad air base. The missiles incinerated containers that served as living quarters for military personnel flying drones and damaged a nearby airfield. The U.S. military had roughly 15 minutes' notice before the missiles hit. Before that, it dispersed personnel around the base and had them take cover in concrete bunkers. (Alexander Tahaov for NPR)
