Rockets hit near Baghdad international airport, no casualties
2021-04-23
At this point it’s not weather, it’s climate.
[AlAhram] At least three rockets landed in the perimeter of Baghdad International Airport late on Thursday, Iraqi security officials said.

The officials said the rockets landed near the area of the airport which houses U.S. forces and there were no reported damages or casualties.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Deutsche Welle adds:
An Iraqi soldier was maimed, the AFP news agency reported.

Security forces also said they found and defused unfired rockets from the rooftop of an empty house that was used to launch the rockets, the statement said.

US officials blamed Iran-backed militias for the attack, although no group initially grabbed credit.
