Baghdad International Airport, which houses personnel of the US-led international military coalition against the Islamic State, was targeted by at least three rockets on Thursday night.

No one was reported injured in the strike, which landed at the edge of the airport near an area housing US military forces, according to an Iraqi military statement.
