Explosion heard near Iraq's Erbil airport: AFP journalist

An explosion was heard on Saturday morning near the international airport of Erbil, a city in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, an AFP journalist reported and a witness said they saw smoke.

Erbil is home to a major U.S. consulate complex, while its airport houses military advisors attached to a U.S.-led international anti-jihadist coalition. Regular drone attacks by pro-Iran armed groups are usually intercepted by air defences.
