According to Sky News, the explosion was by a car bomb near the convoy. No further details were available so far about the explosion.

The US-led Global Coalition had announced earlier that its forces would withdraw from the base and hand it over to the Iraqi forces.

According to the spokesman for the Joint Forces in Iraq, Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji, the withdrawing coalition forces are related with America, Australia and New Zealand, and they were working on training Iraqi security forces.

This base has been repeatedly bombed by the pro-Tehran forces, most recently last week.
