He said four airport employees and security personnel were wounded, along with an engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe official said the rockets landed inside the airport compound, at a water treatment station, near Martyr Alaa Air Base and near Baghdad Central Prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch platform was later found hidden inside a vehicle in an area west of Baghdad. Officers responsible for security in that sector were removed from their posts, and additional security measures were ordered around the targeted sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No group has claimed responsibility, although groups operating under the Islamic Resistance in Iraq banner have repeatedly targeted U.S. assets during the ongoing conflict with Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strikes follow a reported explosion at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Saturday, with outlets differing on whether a drone or a missile struck the complex, damaging a helipad and an air defense radar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
