The Ain al-Asad air base housing US troops in Iraq has come under a drone attack, a week ahead of an expected visit by a high-level Iraqi military delegation to Washington to continue talks on ending the American-led military coalition's presence in the Arab country, Press TV reports.

Several explosions were heard in the base located in the western province of Anbar after it was hit by two drones on Tuesday, according to sources, with no casualties or damage being reported.

This is the second strike since attacks against US bases in Iraq were suspended in late January and early February.
