The Pentagon said in a statement that it was aware of reports about a drone attack in Erbil, but it stated that it had no reports of casualties or severe damage at the airport, where US military personnel are stationed.
US Department of Defence spokeswoman Commander Jessica McNulty did not provide any further details.
On Monday night, an armed drone attack took place against the US embassy in Baghdad, which was intercepted by the C-RAM systems installed by the United States to protect its military and diplomacy personnel.
Since the beginning of 2021, there have been nearly fifty attacks against US interests in Iraq, where 2,500 US troops remain deployed as part of the international coalition formed against the jihadist organisation Islamic State (IS).
