Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Unidentified drone fell on Sunday at Baghdad International Airport, Alsumaria News reported.
A security source said a drone fell at the training institute at Baghdad International Airport from an unknown side.
The source added that it is not yet clear if the drone was carrying explosives or it was flying for photographic purposes.
Baghdad International Airport is constantly attacked by militias using drones and Katyusha rockets.
In May 2022, a drone targeting Martyr Muhammad Alaa Air Base near Baghdad International Airport exploded after it was shot down by air defense system.
The drone was shot down by active air defense system after it was monitored by radars of the international coalition forces.
Drones previously targeted Victory Base Complex (VBC) which occupied the area surrounding the Baghdad International Airport.
VBC has international forces including US and Iraqi forces.
Previously, many attempts of missile attacks repeatedly targeted military forces where US forces are included.
The United States often accuses factions backed by Iran of being responsible for these attacks.
