PARIS, March 15 — Here are the latest events in the Middle East war yesterday:
Attack on Baghdad military base
A drone attack late yesterday targeted the Baghdad airport complex, which houses a military base and a US diplomatic facility, two security sources told AFP.
The drones “targeted the military base” but were brought down just outside the complex, one source said, while a second source said a crashed drone sparked a huge fire outside.
US base in Saudi Arabia targeted
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said late yesterday that they had launched a missile salvo at US forces stationed at a major base in Saudi Arabia’s Al-Kharj.
There was no immediate confirmation of the attack from Saudi Arabia, though its defence ministry said earlier it intercepted six ballistic missiles headed towards Al-Kharj.

Lebanon preparing to negotiate
