Katyusha rocket hits military base at Baghdad airport

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s military says a Katyusha rocket has struck an Iraqi military base housing U.S. troops at Baghdad’s international airport. No damage or casualties were reported from the attack, which was the third in as many days targeting Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq. The attacks began on Monday, the anniversary of a U.S. airstrike that killed top Iranian general Qassim Soleimani in Baghdad two years ago. The Iraqi military statement said a rocket launcher with one rocket was located in a district in western Baghdad. The area is the headquarters of Iran-backed militias in Baghdad and has been used in the past to stage attacks targeting the airport.
