Rocket Attack Hits Baghdad Airport, Injuring Five People
(MENAFN) A rocket assault on Baghdad International Airport, which hosts a US diplomatic facility, left five people wounded on Sunday, including security personnel, according to reports from Iraqi authorities.
"Five rockets targeted Baghdad International Airport and its surrounding area, injuring four airport employees and security personnel, and an engineer," said the security media cell in a statement.
The statement added that the rockets "struck the airport and a water desalination plant," while others landed near a prison holding Daesh suspects and an Iraqi airbase adjacent to the US diplomatic compound.
Separately, Italy’s military reported a drone strike on the Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait, which houses both Italian and US forces, but confirmed that all personnel were unharmed.
"This morning, Ali Al Salem base in Kuwait was the target of a drone attack that hit a shelter housing a remotely piloted aircraft of the Italian Task Force Air (TFA), which was destroyed," said Chief of the Defence General Staff, General Luciano Portolano, in a statement posted online.
