A US service member has been killed in northern Iraq, with US media reporting the death came after a rocket attack on a base.
The service member was killed at a base in Makhmur, according to CNN, with a US official quoted as saying that a "small number" of other American troops were injured.
The base is located where the US conducts advise-and-assist activities, and it is understood that the service member was on security duty there.
Makhmur is a town about 65 miles southeast of Mosul, a city that has been held by the Islamic State since June 2014.
The service member has not yet been publicly identified, as their family is yet to be informed.
The last US service member to be killed in Iraq as a result of enemy action was Army soldier Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler, who died in October during a rescue mission, also in northern Iraq.
