Drones Intercepted Near Erbil Airport in Iraqi Kurdistan

Iraqi air defenses intercepted at least two drones near Erbil International Airport, the capital of the Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq, on Monday. The area houses U.S. forces.

Drone interceptions have become frequent occurrences over Erbil since the onset of U.S. and allied strikes in the region.

On Saturday, coalition forces led by Washington intercepted several rockets and explosive-laden drones over Erbil.

The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has previously condemned attacks targeting various regions in central Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, emphasizing Iraq's policy of denouncing wars and advocating for conflict resolution through negotiation.
