A civilian contractor has died in a rocket strike against a US airbase in Iraq - just days after President Joe Biden's first airstrike against Iranian-backed militants killed 22 people.

At least 10 rockets hit the Ain al-Asad air base, in Iraq's western Anbar province, at around 7.20am local time from a launcher located five miles from the base.

It is not yet clear who carried out the strikes but it comes days after Biden approved his first airstrike - an attack on two Iranian-backed Shia militia groups in Syria.
