Baghdad International Airport was attacked from the air in the early hours of this morning, as reported by Iraqi security authorities.

The report indicated that at least six missiles landed on the runway. The missiles were intercepted due to the air defense system.

As a result, the plane, which was parked, was damaged. The pictures circulated in the media showed a huge hole in the fuselage.

The missiles were aimed at the runway and the Baghdad airport building. There are no reports of casualties.

We should remind that on January 5, missiles were fired at the US military base in Baghdad. The day before, Iraqi air defense systems shot down two drones with explosives near the military base of Ain al-Asad. On January 3, the attempted attack was thwarted at Camp Victoria military base.
