The US base at Erbil International Airport was attacked on Saturday midnight with booby-trapped drones.
A source in the Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service in Erbil governorate said in a telephone conversation with SANA reporter in Baghdad that “three drones hovered around Erbil Airport at midnight before the US air wing at the airport was attacked by a drone, which resulted in damages of which the details are being scrutinized.” .
The source added that air traffic at the airport was suspended and all roads leading to it were closed.
An Iraqi security source had earlier announced, in a brief statement, an attack that targeted the vicinity of Erbil Airport with a booby-trapped drone.
In turn, the governor of Erbil just said that he is closely following the attack on the airport.
