Baghdad, Sept. 26, INA

The U.S. and British warplanes violated Iraq’s airspace in a desperate bid to impair solid will of Iraqis and undermine Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

A spokesman for the air defense command told INA that on Tuesday the U.S and British warplanes violated Iraq’s airspace coming from their bases in Kuwait backed by AWACS inside the Saudi spaces.

He added that the enemy ravens carried out 51 sorties and flew over civil areas in Artawi, Al-Bassiya, Al-jiliba, Ishbicha, Al-Nasiriya, Al-Lassaf, Affak, Al-shatra, Kal’at Suker, Al-Imara, Al-Rumitha, Kal’at Saleh, Taktakana, Al-Kurna, Al-Shanafiya, Al-Hay, Al-Simawa, Al-Basra, Al-Rifa’ee, and Al-Salman.

‘’Iraq’s anti-aircraft units repulsed the enemy planes and forced them to retreat to their bases in Kuwait’’, he further added.

He added that the enemies’ warplanes launched on Wednesday another aggression on northern Iraq coming from their bases in Turkey and supported by an AWACS inside the Turkish spaces.
