Security reports announced that “Air defenses at a military base hosting US forces near Baghdad airport intercepted and shot down two drones.”

According to reports, a counter-missile system “engaged them and they were shot down. No casualties were reported.”

The operation on the Iraqi military base came as the world marks the second anniversary of the assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

Earlier in the day, Iran’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Majid Takht Ravanchi, called on the Security Council to bring the United States and “Israel” to justice for the murder of General Qasem Soleimani.
