New drones downed near Baghdad airport: Security sources

Two drones were shot down on Wednesday evening near Baghdad's international airport, hours after a similar attack on the facility, two security sources told AFP.

"Two drones were downed near Baghdad airport, with no casualties or material damage reported," an Iraqi security source said. Another security source in Baghdad confirmed the incident.

The airport includes a military base that hosts a U.S. diplomatic facility and previously housed U.S.-led coalition troops.
