COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark received a warning six hours before Iran fired missiles at two Iraqi military bases this week, and was able to prepare its contingent stationed at one of the bases alongside U.S. forces, the Danish broadcaster TV2 reported on Friday.

Around 130 Danish personnel were stationed at the Ain al-Asad air base as part of an international coalition fighting Islamic State. The base was one of two housing U.S. forces that Iran attacked on Wednesday.
