Three rockets hit near Baghdad airport overnight without causing any damage, Iraq’s security forces said on Tuesday, marking the fourth such attack in just over a week.

A statement from the Iraqi military said the Katyusha-type projectiles were fired from the southwestern edges of Baghdad, where security forces found more rockets set up on wooden platforms.

It follows a string of similar incidents, including a rocket attack on June 13 that hit an Iraqi base north of Baghdad where US-led coalition troops are based. On June 8, two rockets struck the grounds of the Baghdad airport complex, and an unguided rocket hit near the US embassy in Iraq’s high-security Green Zone two days later.

Such attacks are rarely claimed, but Washington has blamed pro-Iran factions in Iraq, primarily Kataib Hezbollah.
