Defence Minister Ron Mark is downplaying a rocket attack near Camp Taji in Iraq as the Defence Force confirms no Kiwis were harmed.
Katyusha rockets hit roughly 3km away from the military complex - located north of Baghdad and which also hosts American forces - on Wednesday morning in an attack which local media described as "fierce". Initial reports suggested the rockets landed on the base itself.

The first two years of the Coalition government have been a pleasant surprise for those interested in defence matters.
They have a coherent defence story, particularly well set out in the 2019 Capability Plan, which builds on the work of the previous National government. They have been able to make the big multibillion-dollar procurement decisions, something that eluded the previous government. The Coalition government has even managed to gain some degree of acceptance from the Green Party about the direction of defence policy.

In this term of government, we’ve been very busy with the defense portfolio. We’ve unveiled the Strategic Defence Policy Statement, which identified how we view the strategic environment in which we operate. Then we built on it with reports on climate change and how the New Zealand Defence Force, or NZDF, will work better in the Pacific. We’ve then used this to create the Defence Capability Plan to meet the challenges we’re facing in our strategic environment and to modernize the Defence Force.
