AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A rocket on Monday evening landed on the perimeter of Iraq's Baghdad International Airport, the Iraqi military said.
The rocket was launched from Arab Khudair area south of the airport, said the media office of the Iraqi Joint Operations Command (JOC) in a statement, without giving details about the casualties.
The security forces immediately started a search for whoever carried out the attack on the airport area, according to the JOC statement.
It is worth noting that U.S. troops are stationed at a military base as part of the Baghdad airport.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack came days before a strategic dialogue scheduled for mid-June between Baghdad and Washington for a decision on the future of the U.S. forces in Iraq.
