Security sources in Iraq announced early Wednesday morning that a number of soldiers were wounded in a bombing that targeted their security checkpoint north of Baghdad. The sources stated that officers and four enlisted personnel were injured in the attack, which struck a security checkpoint in the Sheikh Amer area near Sabaa al-Bour, according to Shafaq News Agency. This coincided with reports of several explosions in various parts of Baghdad, most notably in the Palestine Street, Jamila, and Amiriya districts. An Iraqi security source stated that air defenses intercepted drones over Baghdad, resulting in a fire at the US Diplomatic Support Center at Baghdad International Airport. The source indicated that "two more missiles landed at the US Diplomatic Support Center at the airport, causing a fire." The source added that "Iraqi air defenses intercepted three drones and shot them down into the Tigris River, while a missile landed in the Amiriya district, injuring two members of the same family." Security sources later announced the death of an 8-year-old child as a result of a projectile striking a house in the Al-Amiriya district of Baghdad. Meanwhile, the Basra Police Command announced on Tuesday the death of three people after a rocket struck their home in the Khor Al-Zubair Al-Janoubi area. In a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the Command said, "The rocket struck a house located on farmland in Khor Al-Zubair Al-Janoubi, on the Safwan road, completely destroying the house." The statement added that the victims' bodies were examined by forensic investigators and transferred to the forensic medicine department within the Safwan police station's jurisdiction.
