A rocket attack on Baghdad International Airport, which houses a U.S. diplomatic facility, wounded five people on Sunday including security personnel, Iraqi authorities said.
"Five rockets targeted Baghdad International Airport and its surrounding area, injuring four airport employees and security personnel, and an engineer," the security media cell said in a statement.
It added that rockets "struck the airport and a water desalination plant", while others crashed near a prison where Islamic State group suspects are detained and an Iraqi airbase base next to a U.S. diplomatic facility.
