Shafaq News/ One young man was injured when a landmine exploded on Friday near the center of Serqala district of Kifri in Diyala. The Mine Action Agency of Kurdistan Regional Government reported.
In a statement, the Agency said that the health condition of the 14-year-old boy is stable.
The Directorate of Mine Action in Garmyan arrived to investigate the incident. It also dismantled two other mines in the exact location. The statement added.
Iraq is littered with an estimated ten million landmines; many were placed by the former Iraqi regime and in areas bordering Iran and Kuwait.
Mines claimed 14,000 victims in Iraq between 1991 and 2007, the United Nations Development Program says. More than half died from their wounds.
According to the UN estimates, there are more than 10 million landmines and a large quantity of UXO in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Of these landmines, eight million are estimated to be antipersonnel and two million antitank. It is possible to find almost every variety of landmine in Iraq.
Shafaq News/ On Friday, Iraqi security and intelligence forces launched an operation on the banks of the Tigris River on the borders with Saladin, in Khalis district and the surrounded villages and agricultural areas searching for the sites where missile attacks launched on Balad Airbase.
A source told Shafaq News Agency that Balad was attacked with more than 25 missiles, in 2021 and about six missile attacks in 2022.
On Thursday, at least four rockets targeted Balad Air Base in Saladin, southern Iraq. The Security Media Cell said.
The Cell pledged to hold those "terrorist criminal gangs" accountable.
A source told our Agency that the rockets were launched from villages on the banks of the Tigris River of Khalis district and landed in the northern part of Balad Base.
The Cell said the rockets landed in open areas in the Base.
According to our source, the rockets targeted the headquarters of the US company, "Sallyport," which houses foreign contractors affiliated with Lockheed Martin (American aerospace, arms, defense, information security, and technology corporation company)."
The attack caused only material damage.
Balad Air Base is an Iraqi Air Force base located about 64 kilometers north of Baghdad; it houses foreign contractors who train the Iraqi forces and provide consultancy.
The Base contains F-16 fighter jets.
Last January, the Iraqi forces thwarted an attack by three drones on the Airbase.
According to the Security Media Cell, three drones approached the southern part of the Balad Air Base, some 90 km north of Baghdad, prompting the Iraqi forces to open fire on the drones and forcing them to flee the scene.
No one claimed responsibility for the attacks, and the Iraqi Forces never arrested any involved.

[IsraelTimes] Prosecutors accuse Sur Baher man of contact with terror group officials, conducting weapons training in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ; orphan charity allegedly funneled money for terror purposes
Four residents of East Jerusalem were indicted Friday over alleged ties to Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw,, with police prosecutors charging some to have planned attacks in the coming month after conducting weapons training and meetings with terror group officials in Turkey.
Following a lengthy joint investigation with the Shin Bet security agency, police said three of the suspects — a family from Sur Baher — were detained upon their entry to Israel last month.
A fourth suspect — a resident of Beit Hanina — was also arrested, with 500,000 NIS (approximately $155,000) in cash, vehicles, and other assets seized, as well as the freezing of bank accounts belonging to a charitable organization.
The charity, Lajnat Zakat al-Quds, which has offices in the Temple Mount complex in Jerusalem’s Old City, was accused of funneling money for Hamas, tax offenses, and money laundering.
According to the indictment, one of the accused, Khaled Sabah, was appointed in 2019 by senior Hamas officials in Turkey as the terror group’s treasurer in Jerusalem. He assisted in transferring Hamas funds from Turkey to Jerusalem, and distributing them to Hamas operatives and their families, under the guise of the charity, prosecutors charged.
The charity advertised itself as assisting orphans, but much of the funding went to families of Hamas members killed while committing terror attacks or in festivities with Israeli forces, prosecutors charged.
Between 2007 and 2020, Lajnat Zakat al-Quds had a total income of nearly NIS 28 million ($8.6 million), the indictment read.
In late January this year, Sabah traveled to Turkey to meet with Hamas officials, during which they discussed the terror group’s preparations for the holy Moslem month of Ramadan, in the event of festivities with Israeli forces.
"During the meeting, the defendant agreed he would purchase a weapon for this purpose, if necessary," the indictment read.
Sabah, and his now arrested sons, Musab and Munib Sabah, conducted firearms training in Turkey in preparation for a potential attack, prosecutors said.
According to the indictment, Sabah was also ordered to recruit members for the terror group in Jerusalem, and "lay the groundwork" for activities during Ramadan.
