Four explosions heard in Iraq's Erbil: AFP journalists

At least four explosions were heard on Wednesday in the city of Erbil in the autonomous Kurdistan region, AFP journalists reported.

It was not immediately clear what the target was. From a suburb of Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region, AFP journalists saw interceptions of projectiles over the city, which is home to a major U.S. consulate complex, while its airport houses U.S.-led coalition troops.
