Two Americans and one British individual believed to be killed in rocket attack

Two Americans and one British individual believed to be killed in a rocket attack on Taji camp in Iraq, according to US officials citing preliminary information.

There are also unidentified airstrikes on PMU positions near Al-Sayyal, north of Al-Bukamal. 

The BBC reports that the attack was on the Taji military camp north of Baghdad:

The US sources said an American soldier, an American contractor and a British soldier were killed but this has not been officially confirmed.

Tension has been high since the US killed senior Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad on 3 January.

A retaliatory strike on another base hosting US troops on 9 January left more than 100 soldiers suffering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

The UK Ministry of Defence said of the latest incident: "We can confirm we are aware of an incident involving UK service personnel at Camp Taji, Iraq. An investigation is underway, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
