This from NPR:
"Where did the attacks hit, and were there any casualties?
The U.S. Department of Defense says Iran fired "more than a dozen ballistic missiles" at military bases in Ain al-Assad, northwest of Baghdad, and in Irbil, in the semiautonomous Kurdish region.
Satellite photos from Wednesday show that the Iranian strike caused extensive damage at the Ain al-Assad air base, as NPR's Geoff Brumfiel reports.
"Some of the locations struck look like the missiles hit dead center," says David Schmerler, an analyst with the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.
No Iraqi, American or coalition casualties have been reported in the attacks. The large Ain al-Assad base has about 1,500 personnel, including some 300 Americans. NPR Pentagon reporter Tom Bowman says the Irbil base would likely have "hundreds of troops" present."
