BAGHDAD, Sept 7 (NNN-NINA) – Three Katyusha rockets landed at Baghdad International Airport yesterday, damaging four vehicles, the Iraqi military said.
The attack took place in the evening, when the rockets were fired from the Abu Gharib area, west of Baghdad’s city centre, and landed at the airport, the media office of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command (JOC) said, in a statement.
One of the rockets struck a car park at the airport and caused damage to four civilian cars, the JOC said.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack. Baghdad Airport and the Iraqi military bases, housing U.S. troops across Iraq, as well as, the U.S. embassy in the Green Zone, have been frequently targeted by mortar and rocket attacks.
More than 5,000 U.S. troops are deployed in Iraq, to support Iraqi forces in the battles against the Daesh militants, mainly providing training and advising to the Iraqi forces.– NNN-NINA
