“According to preliminary data, a booby-trapped drone bomber crashed and exploded at Harir airfield in Erbil,” the report said.

According to video footage provided to Rudaw by local residents, a large fire broke out at the airbase, with fuel tanks catching fire.

Earlier, the Iraqi Shafaq news agency reported a powerful explosion that was heard near the Harir military airfield in Erbil province. The circumstances of the explosion were not specified, nor were its consequences.
