"ISIS" Claims Responsibility for Rocket Attack On Iraqi Power Station
The Iraqi Ministry of Electricity said Sunday night that a terrorist attack targeted Salah al-Din thermal Power Station in Samarra using Katyusha rockets.
The National Iraqi News Agency quoted the Ministry as saying that the attack caused severe damage to the power station's generating unit.
In parallel, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack that targeted a tower and a main electricity line feeding areas in Baqubah and the capital, Baghdad, according to Reuters.
This attack comes in conjunction with Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada announcing Monday dawn that four members of the 14th brigade were martyred in a US aggression on the border strip between Iraq and Syria, following a US raid on a Popular Mobilization Forces site in the Al-Qa'im area inside Iraqi territory.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby stated that the airstrikes, directed by President Joe Biden, targeted operational and weapons storage facilities at two locations in Syria and one location in Iraq.
