OIR: Indirect fire did not land on Coalition forces in Erbil

Wednesday night, 6 rockets landed near Erbil Airport in Kurdistan region of northern Iraq.

the area that rockets landed was close to Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI). It is still unclear whether the rockets aimed for this opposition group or US military base within the airport or both.

The area was captured from Kurdistan by Iran-backed Hashd militias in 2017, with implicit support from the US.

US army's defense system in Erbil didn't go active as rockets rocket fell far from US-led coalition base, according to the local sources.
