Baghdad airport hit in latest Iraq rocket strike, no injuries
The strike follows a drone attack on a coalition site at Erbil Air Base last week.
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.
Iraqi military personnel reportedly located the rockets’ launch site near the Baghdad neighborhood of al-Jihad and defused unlaunched rockets, according to the statement.
The barrage is at least the fourth such attack on Iraqi security facilities in just over two weeks, and the second targeting sites used by US military personnel.
