BAGHDAD (Hatha Alyoum)- An armed group in Iraq announced on Monday that it launched a swarm of drones targeting the Victoria Military Base located within Baghdad International Airport.
According to a statement released by the group, the operation was carried out in retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and as a show of support for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The group cited religious justifications in its statement, labeling the attack as a "retaliatory action."
Security forces have cordoned off the area around the airport, while there is no immediate confirmation from U.S. or Iraqi officials regarding damages or casualties resulting from the drone strike.
