The Iraqi armed group Saraya Awliya al-Dam said it carried out a drone attack on the Victoria military airbase at Baghdad airport.
The group claimed responsibility for the strike in a statement on its Telegram channel.
The incident follows a series of drone attacks in Iraq in recent days, including two drones that targeted a US military base and a hotel in Erbil in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
Last week, a building in Sulaimaniyah was also hit by a drone strike. Footage verified by Al Jazeera showed flames rising from the site.
