A drone attack hit near U.S. forces stationed at Erbil International Airport in northern Iraq on Saturday, Iraqi Kurdish security officials said.

The internal security service for Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, of which Erbil is the capital, initially said three rockets had hit near the airport.

A second statement by the Kurdish counter-terrorism force said the attack had been carried out by explosive-laden drones.

There were no immediate reports of casualties. Witnesses said they heard at least six explosions in the area.

The airport in Erbil, the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region, has come under attack several times in the past year, including by drones carrying explosives.

let’s see - who has drones now - well, there’s the tally man, who were allegedly photographed next to those still in crates, there are the iranians who got them from the tally man, there are alqueda/isis who got them from the tally man...and the tally man got them because we didn’t fry or fly them out before we turned off the lights
