At least five missiles were fired from the Iraqi city of Zummar at a US military base in northeastern Syria, two Iraqi security sources told Reuters.
Security sources and a senior army officer said a missile mounted on the back of a small truck was parked in the Syrian border town of Zummar.
The attack against US forces is the first since early February, when Iran-backed groups in Iraq halted their attacks against US troops.
This comes a day after Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani returned from a visit to the US and met with President Joe Biden at the White House.
Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah has said that Iraqi armed groups have decided to resume attacks on US forces in the country.
They blamed the lack of progress in talks aimed at regulating the withdrawal of US troops.
A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, called it a "failed missile attack".
It was not immediately clear whether the missiles had failed to hit the base or were destroyed before reaching it, or whether the base was the target.
