Iran Press/ Middle East: According to local media, a powerful explosion rocked east Baghdad on Thursday, one day after a rare drone struck a northern Iraqi airport.
The explosion was heard in Baghdad’s Sadr City area, in the Habibiya neighborhood. The cause of the blast was a car bomb.
The development comes hours after drone strikes targeted US-led coalition troops near Erbil airport and a Turkish military base in northern Iraq.
However, in January a double suicide attack on a market in the southern suburb of Yusufiya killed 32 civilians and injured more than 100.
It was the first major attack since January 2018 – a month after Iraq declared the full victory over ISIS.
