At least 8 rocket and drone attacks targeted a US-used diplomatic and logistics facility at Baghdad International Airport overnight, Iraqi officials said Sunday. A senior official told AFP the strikes went on until dawn. Some rockets landed near the site. No clear details on damage were shared. Another official reported 6 strikes, showing early differences in count. A police source said a rocket launcher was found in a nearby district. This suggests the attacks were launched from inside Baghdad. Authorities have not said who carried out the strikes. Security has been tightened around the airport after the incident. (PC: HT)
