Title: Foiled Drone Attack Targets U.S. Forces Base in Iraq

Two security sources reported that an armed drone was shot down today, Tuesday, over Erbil Airport in northern Iraq, where American and international forces are stationed. They added that it was unclear whether the thwarted attack resulted in any damage or casualties. The Kurdistan Region's Counter-Terrorism Agency confirmed the downing of the explosive drone near Erbil Airport, stating in a statement that an "outlaw militia" launched the armed drone at 09:52 AM local time. This incident followed the downing of a drone by air defense systems over Erbil Airport on Sunday evening. At that time, a group calling itself the "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" claimed responsibility for launching the drone.
