A drone fell at the military airport in Baghdad, setting fire to one of the storage facilities there, according to an Iraqi security source. There was no immediate official statement on the incident, which the source said took place minutes earlier. The reported drone fall came about an hour after Iraqi authorities said rockets had been launched at the logistical support centre of the United States embassy near Baghdad airport. Officials said the rockets were fired from a vehicle in the Abu Ghraib area, west of Baghdad, and landed in an open area without causing injuries.
