All targeted facilities are fully managed and operated by the Iraqi security forces, underscoring the military-specific nature of the assault.

In response, Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered the establishment of a high-level technical and intelligence committee, which will comprise representatives from all relevant security agencies tasked with investigating the attacks, identifying those responsible, and monitoring the findings.

Al-Sudani condemned the attacks as "treacherous criminal acts," asserting that such actions will not go unpunished, reaffirming the commitment of the Iraqi armed forces to defending the country's sovereignty and the safety of its people.

Our correspondent in Iraq reported that key infrastructure at Camp Taji was damaged, including an air radar system, an electrical engineering department, and fuel storage tanks. The extent of the damage underscores the strategic nature of the drone assault and its potential implications for Iraq's military readiness.

At dawn on Tuesday, Baghdad Operations Commander, Lieutenant General Walid al-Tamimi, announced that an unknown drone attack targeted a site in Taji Camp, located north of the Iraqi capital.

Media outlets had reported that multiple explosions were heard in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, further clarifying that they occurred at Camp Taji, also known as Camp Cooke, a military installation used by Iraqi and US-led coalition forces
