A senior security officer told the AFP that two rockets late Monday killed the military section of Kirkuk Airport in North Iraq, injuring two security personnel.
Another rocket fell at a house in the city of Kirkuk, causing damage to the material.
The officer injured two security personnel, saying, “Two Katusha rockets fell into the military segment of Kirkuk Airport, injuring two security personnel, said, requesting oblivion, as they are not allowed to talk to the media.
According to the official, there was no rocket explosion.
The source said, “A third rocket hit a house in the Uruba neighborhood,” due to physical damage, the source said.
The military area of Kirkuk’s airport includes the Iraqi Army, the federal police and the base for the Hashed al-Shabi, which are alliances of former Iranian paramilitary forces, which are now integrated into the regular armed forces.
A security source told the official INA news agency that two rockets hit the military airbase at Kirkuk Airport, one of which fell near the runway, and the other hit a house in the city.
There has been no claim of responsibility for the attacks.
The management of the Kirkuk International Airport said there was no damage at the airport and the attack did not disrupt flights.
Iraq has long been a battleground of drones and rocket attacks and has proved to be fertile ground for proxy wars.
But it recently gained a glimpse of stability after decades of destructive conflicts and upheaval.
Last week, the 12-day Iran-Israel War ended a few hours before a ceasefire, unknown drones hit the radar system at two military bases in Baghdad and southern Iraq.
The government said that it has started investigating the drone attacks, but has not yet identified any criminals.
