A military complex near Baghdad International Airport came under attack on Wednesday morning when it was targeted with three Katyusha-type rockets, according to Iraq’s military.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that the military base is used to house US forces and diplomats and in recent months attacks against the US troops have increased around the country.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Iraqi military said it found a rocket launcher with a timer in a rural area in western Baghdad. There are no reported causalities or damages.

Baghdad’s airport has been closed since March after the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

US, UK, and Iraqi troops have become the target of rocket attacks for nearly six months. The last attack on a military base hosting foreign troops was in March.

Washington blames Tehran for carrying out such attacks in the past.
