Missile strikes in Iraq did not affect US facilities, say US officials

Missile strikes in Iraq did not affect any U.S. facilities and there were no U.S. casualties, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Monday, as Iran's Revolutionary Guards took credit for a strike near Iraq's northern city of Erbil.

The U.S. officials declined further comment.

Explosions were heard in an area some 40 kilometers northeast of Erbil in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, local sources said, in an area near the U.S. consulate as well as civilian residences.
