Satellite firm releases images of Iraqi base destroyed by mystery blast
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli satellite imaging firm releases images of an Iraqi munitions depot that was targeted by a mystery explosion that was blamed on an Israel drone strike.
The before and after images analyzed and distributed by ImageSat International show heavy damage at the Balad airbase north of Baghdad.
ISI says the base appeared to have been targeted in an airstrike, triggering an explosion. A second blast was triggered when the munitions storage rooms caught on fire.
