The US has just struck back at the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq that launched a ballistic missile strike a few days ago on the al-Asad air base.

Here’s the news from US CENTCOM:

U.S. Forces Strike Kataib Hezbollah Capabilities in Iraq

In response to attacks by the Iranian-backed militia group Kataib Hezbollah (KH), including the attack on al-Asad Airbase in western Iraq on Jan. 20, on Jan. 24 at 12:15 a.m. (Iraq time), U.S. CENTCOM forces conducted unilateral airstrikes against three facilities used by Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah militia group and other Iran-affiliated groups in Iraq. These strikes targeted KH headquarters, storage, and training locations for rocket, missile, and one-way attack UAV capabilities.

After targeting their hq we should be hearing about dead Kataib Hezbollah terrorists soon. So far I haven’t seen any reports of fatalities but I hope it’s just early. The attacks happened a little over an hour ago.

Below is said to be video of the attack:
