U.S. Apache helicopters responded by destroying three vehicles and equipment used to launch the rockets, killing two or three militants, according to CENTCOM.
"We are closely monitoring the situation," CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael "Erik" Kurilla said Wednesday. "We have a total spectrum of capability to mitigate threats across the region, and we have every confidence in our ability to protect our troops and Coalition partners from attacks."
