Initial reports posted at 14:09 UTC said an explosion had occurred in Iraq’s Erbil Province and that a drone had targeted Erbil International Airport.

A subsequent update said KRI authorities described the blast near the airport as a controlled explosion rather than a UAV attack.

Shin later shared a post by Wladimir van Wilgenburg stating:

Kurdistan/KRG: Amidst Coalition withdrawal: Erbil security forces carried out a controlled explosion of unexploded ordnance at Erbil International Airport on Sunday

The later account superseded the initial drone-attack reports.
