Saudi foreign ministry condemns missile attack on Baghdad Airport

RIYADH, 30 January 2022, (TON): The Saudi foreign ministry condemned an attack that targeted Baghdad International Airport.

Iraq’s military said “six rockets struck the airport’s facility, damaging two commercial planes but causing no casualties.”

The Saudi foreign ministry statement said the Kingdom rejected threats to the stability of Iraq and its air navigation, adding that it stood with the Iraqi government and the measures it is taking to protect its security.

The statement also affirmed Saudi Arabia's position in rejecting terrorism in all its forms and forms, regardless of its motives.

The rockets fired in the early hours of the morning landed on planes parked in a waiting area of Iraqi Airways, the country’s national carrier.

One of the rockets fired on Friday created a gaping hole in the cockpit area of one of the planes.
