A drone packed with explosives was shot down on Monday near Arbil airport, which hosts US troops from the international anti-extremist coalition in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, Kurdish security forces said.

“At 02:20 (1120 GMT) an explosive-laden drone was downed near Arbil International Airport, without causing casualties or damage,” said the counterterrorism services of the Kurdistan region.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the drone, the second intercepted near the airport this month.

Arbil airport, which includes a base for the US-led international anti-extremist coalition, was frequently targeted by rocket and drone attacks in previous years.
