Projectile attack targets US logistics facility at Baghdad International Airport, Iraq, early Sept. 11. Avoid the area.
At least two projectiles reportedly targeted a US-operated logistics facility inside Baghdad International Airport (BGW) early Sept. 11. It remains unclear whether the projectiles in question were mortar rounds or rockets. There were no initial reports of casualties or infrastructure damage as a result of the strikes. No group has as yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
Heightened security measures and localized transport disruptions are likely near the impact area over the coming hours. Additional attacks targeting military installations and critical infrastructure sites are possible.
Avoid the vicinity of the affected location until authorities have completely secured the area and given the all-clear. Heed the instructions of local security personnel. If incoming fire is reported in the general vicinity, stay indoors, away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to the ground floor or basement. Maintain contact with your country's diplomatic mission.
