Iraq reopens airspace after Iran attacks

Iraq reopened its airspace on Monday, the country's civil aviation body said, following Iran's announcement that it was halting its military operation against Israel. The Civil Aviation Authority was reopening 'Iraqi airspace to flights to and from all airports' and will continue to 'monitor and assess the regional situation', it said in a statement. It had announced a 72-hour closure of its airspace on Sunday evening after Iranian missile strikes on Israel. — AFP
