A drone was shot down on Wednesday near Baghdad International Airport, a day after a similar incident targeted the facility, according to two Iraqi security sources. Officials said there were no casualties or material damage reported in the latest episode.

“One drone was downed near Baghdad airport, with no casualties or material damage,” an Iraqi security source said. A second security official in Baghdad confirmed the development, adding that investigations were underway to determine the origin and intent behind the drone.

The airport complex includes a military base that hosts a US diplomatic facility and has previously housed troops from the US-led coalition. The area has been considered sensitive due to its strategic and diplomatic significance.
