Katyusha Missile lands in Baghdad international airport

Shafaq News / The Security Media Cell announced on Thursday that Baghdad International Airport was subjected to a new missile attack.

The cell said in a statement received by Shafaq News, "a Katyusha missile launched from the Euphrates neighborhood, landed on Baghdad International Airport. No injuries were registered".

Usually, missile attacks target military bases and the vicinity of Baghdad airport, where the international coalition soldiers are present.

Baghdad airport and other locations, including the US embassy and military bases that house US troops and diplomats, have been the target of frequent missile attacks since last year.

Washington accuses armed Iraqi factions linked to Iran of being behind the attacks targeting its embassy and military bases in which American soldiers are deployed in Iraq.
