Iraqi security forces pointed out that they found a launchpad packed with 4 missiles in the Nineveh Plain after the attack, adding that they were able to neutralize it.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi confirmed, during a phone call with the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, that the armed forces will go after the perpetrators of this “cowardly attack."

In a similar incident, three rockets landed near the same refinery on the sixth of April, without causing any casualties or damage.
