More Than 10 UAVs Target Baiji Refinery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Adel Al-Daraj, the subdistrict governor of Baiji in Salahaddin province, confirmed that \u201cthe Baiji refinery was attacked by more than ten unmanned drones at dawn Tuesday.\u201d He added that security and technical teams are \u201chandling and containing the situation.\u201d Local news outlets quoted him saying the strikes \u201ccaused no human casualties, and investigations are ongoing to identify the perpetrators and bolster protection of vital facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The federal Oil Ministry issued a statement assuring that \u201cproduction activities at the Al-Sumoud refinery in Baiji continue uninterrupted,\u201d and that the facility had not been damaged by any foreign objects falling inside or around its perimeter. The Ministry lauded \u201cthe substantial efforts of security forces in maintaining a safe operating environment,\u201d and affirmed ongoing coordination to safeguard oil infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Kirkuk Airport and Military Base Shelled<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kirkuk Governor Rebwar Taha reported that Kirkuk International Airport was struck by projectiles, prompting a heightened security alert at several critical installations in the region. He told journalists that \u201cno direct human injuries occurred, and material damage was limited and quickly contained.\u201d Taha noted the attacks followed a recent security operation that killed several ISIS militants on the city\u2019s outskirts. He emphasized that \u201cthe situation is under control,\u201d and that technical and security teams are investigating the type of ordnance used and the origin of the assault. A formal investigation committee will later reveal the full circumstances and responsible party.<\/p>\n

Initial airport statements\u2014later retracted\u2014claimed three projectiles hit the facility at 11:30 PM Monday, with two landing in the military sector and one in the civilian zone, igniting nearby brush fires. First responders extinguished the flames, and airport personnel reported only one minor injury and no runway damage. A late-night press release, subsequently deleted for unclear reasons, asserted the airport continued normal flight operations. A follow-up statement clarified there was \u201cno damage to any airport infrastructure,\u201d and all scheduled flights proceeded punctually under ICAO safety standards.<\/p>\n

Nearby, two Katyusha rockets struck a military base\u2014located in one of Iraq\u2019s key disputed areas between Baghdad and Erbil\u2014and a civilian home without causing fatalities. Security sources told state media that one rocket landed between the base\u2019s first and second runways, and the other struck a residence in Kirkuk\u2019s Al-Aruba neighborhood. Local footage showed minimal structural harm and interviews with the affected family.<\/p>\n

Drone Incident in Zakho IDP Camp<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In Zakho district of Dahuk province, the Derkar IDP camp for Yazidi refugees witnessed an unknown UAV crash inside one of its schools, as captured on video.<\/p>\n

Suspected ISIS Resurgence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brigadier General Abdul Khaleq Talat, the Kurdistan Regional Government\u2019s representative to Iraq\u2019s Joint Operations Command, linked the attacks to a recent uptick in ISIS activity. He stated the strikes came \u201cconcurrently with clashes between Iraqi forces and ISIS\u201d around Baiji and Balkana, and that \u201cindicators of IS movements have increased in recent days, especially in Daquq, Tuz Khurmatu and areas surrounding Kirkuk.\u201d Security operations in early June reportedly killed three senior ISIS operatives, weakening the group but not eradicating it. Talat warned that ISIS \u201cis exploiting current tensions to reactivate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local Political Response<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A member of the Fatah Alliance, Uday Abdul Hadi, echoed the ISIS-responsibility hypothesis, noting that the group lost over 19 key leaders in Kirkuk and Salahaddin during the first half of 2025. He described the rocket attack on Kirkuk Airport as the work of a sleeper cell attempting to \u201cconfuse the security picture.\u201d He added that the operation \u201cfailed to disrupt airport activity or alarm civilians, underscoring the security forces\u2019 ability to trace and detain the perpetrators\u201d and asserting that \u201cISIS is in its final days in these areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of this report, Iraq\u2019s federal security agencies have not issued an official statement regarding the nature of the attacks or the extent of any damage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
