Rocket attack damages planes in Baghdad

(28 Jan 2022) Six rockets struck Baghdad's international airport facility on Friday, damaging two commercial planes but causing no casualties, Iraq's military said in a statement.
The rockets fired in the early morning landed on planes parked in a waiting area of Iraqi Airways, the country's national carrier, the statement said.
The military said launch pads for the missiles had been located in the nearby Abu Ghraib area.
The airport contains an Iraqi military base that hosts U.S. and other coalition advisors.
