Baghdad International Airport was hit with at least three rockets on Friday, damaging an unused commercial airliner.

No one was reported hurt in the incident, which was not immediately claimed by any group, though Iran-backed militias are frequently blamed for targeting sites in Iraq used by international coalition troops that maintain a presence at the airport.
