BAGHDAD—Three Katyusha rockets landed near Baghdad International Airport late on Monday, the Iraqi military said.

The military said it found rocket launchers with several rockets in a rural area in western Baghdad, and there were no reports of damage or casualties.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Iran-backed militias have been suspected to be behind a number of similar rocket attacks in Baghdad in recent months.
