Rocket attacks, which the US blames on Iran-backed militias within the Hashd al-Shaabi, have frequently landed near and sometimes on the US embassy, which is next to the base.

Sunday's attack came just hours after one of the Hashd's Iran-backed factions, Harakat al-Nujaba, announced a "countdown" to ejecting American forces from the country.

The faction's leader Akram al-Kaabi tweeted a photograph of what he claimed was an American military vehicle, adding: "We are closer than you think."

The attack was the latest in a recent series of rocket and mortar attacks on Iraqi bases housing US troops. On Thursday, a mortar shell exploded in the K1 Iraqi military airbase in Kirkuk province in northern Iraq. No casualties were reported, Iraqi security officials said.
