Soleimani's Revenge

Two armed drones were shot down as they approached a base near Baghdad’s international airport where U.S. forces were on Monday,

"Two armed drones were shot down as they approached a base near Baghdad’s international airport where U.S. forces were on Monday, Iraqi security said.

The base’s defense system engaged “two fixed-wing suicide drones,” an official of the U.S.-led international military coalition said. Both were downed “without incident” and no injuries were sustained."

“This was a dangerous attack on a civilian airport,” the coalition official said in a statement. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack as of yet but it happened on the two-year anniversary of the assassination of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Soleimani was killed by a drone strike near the Baghdad airport under the Trump administration.
