A rocket attack near Baghdad International Airport has injured four people, Iraqi security officials said, raising concerns about escalating tensions in the region.
Authorities reported that several rockets landed in areas close to the airport late at night, triggering explosions and prompting emergency responses from security forces. The injured individuals were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, though their conditions were not immediately disclosed.
Baghdad International Airport has previously been targeted in rocket attacks due to the presence of military facilities and international forces located nearby. Security forces quickly sealed off parts of the area following the incident while investigators worked to determine where the rockets were launched from. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
Officials said investigations are ongoing as authorities assess the damage and review security measures around the airport and surrounding facilities. The incident comes amid heightened tensions across the Middle East, where missile and drone attacks have been reported in several countries in recent days.
