A logistics unit linked to the United States Embassy in Baghdad near Baghdad International Airport in Iraq was targeted in a suspected attack believed to involve forces connected to Iran.
According to initial reports, the target of the attack was a logistical support camp that provides operational and supply assistance to the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. Security sources suggest the strike may have been carried out by Iran-linked armed groups operating in the region.
Following the incident, air defense systems at the logistics facility were activated in an attempt to intercept and neutralize the incoming threat. The response appears to have prevented major damage.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the exact type of weapon used in the attack, though similar incidents in the area have previously involved rockets or armed drones launched by militia groups aligned with Tehran.
So far, there are no reports of casualties or significant damage, and officials have not issued a detailed statement regarding the circumstances of the strike.
The area surrounding Baghdad International Airport has long been considered a high-security zone, hosting diplomatic facilities, coalition forces, and logistical bases supporting international missions in Iraq.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
