US Hub in Iraq Targeted by Iranian Drones and Rockets

A key US diplomatic and logistics centre at Baghdad’s International Airport came under attack overnight, with multiple waves of rockets and drones targeting the facility. The attacks were reported to have started on Saturday and continued until dawn Sunday.

According to Iraqi security sources, eight separate attacks were launched, some of which hit near the base. Additionally, a rocket launcher was discovered in a district near the airport, suggesting the potential for further strikes.

The US centre has been repeatedly targeted since February 28, with pro-Iran groups claiming responsibility for the attacks. The situation underscores the ongoing security challenges in the region as tensions between Iran and Western forces escalate.
