Event

Two projectiles reportedly impacted near Camp Taji, an Iraqi military base in Baghdad Governorate, late April 25. There have been no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage. As of yet, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Located approximately 21 km (13 miles) northwest of Baghdad, Camp Taji has regularly been targeted by Iranian-backed Shi'a militias.
