Another U.S. contractor has died when at least 10 rockets slammed into an air base housing U.S. troops in western Iraq, the Pentagon said.

A Pentagon spokesperson said the contractor “suffered a cardiac episode while sheltering” and died shortly afterward. He said there were no service members injured and all are accounted for.

The rockets struck Ain al-Asad airbase in Anbar province early in the morning, with officials saying the rockets were fired from east of the base.

The rocket attack was the first since the U.S. struck Iran militia targets along the Iraq-Syria border last week.

Last week’s U.S. strike along the border was in response to a previous spate of rocket attacks that targeted the American presence in Iraq, including one that killed a coalition contractor and wounded US troops and contractors at the Irbil airport.

Rocket attacks in Iraq have targeted US forces and the U.S. Embassy in the heavily fortified Green Zone, which led to US threats of embassy closure and retaliation strikes.

The rocket attacks have increased again in recent weeks, since the new administration took office. U.S. troops in Iraq have significantly decreased their bases and presence in the last year to consolidate chiefly in Ain al-Asad, Baghdad and Irbil.

These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
