Sirens sounded at US base in Baghdad International Airport

Warning sirens were sounded at an American base Friday in Baghdad International Airport, hours after finding missiles close to the area.

A security source said that warning sirens were sounded at the US Camp Victoria in Baghdad International Airport, as part of testing.

Earlier on Friday, Baghdad Operations Command thwarted an attempt to target main headquarters with Katyusha rockets in Baghdad.

It stated that a joint operation dismantled a homemade missile base containing three Katyushas in the outskirts of the Jihad neighborhood in the Karkh district, Baghdad.
