BREAKING: Reports of Rockets Fired at Camp Taji in Iraq Likely a Siren Test
In the last hour there were reports of at least five rockets fired at Camp Taji in northern Iraq home of US military personnel.
It now appears it is likely a siren test?
Also false alarm. No rockets hitting Camp Taji, looks like it was siren test. https://t.co/6IA3gZHZ2K— Status-6 (@Archer83Able) January 7, 2020

Reported "attack" on Camp Taji may have been a test of the camp's alarm. There are no verified reports of damage.
