There has been no claim of responsibility for the attacks, and the government has not yet identified any perpetrators.
Sabah al-Numan, the military spokesman for the Iraqi prime minister, described the attacks as “cowardly and treacherous”.
He said that early Tuesday “several small suicide drones targeted multiple Iraqi military sites and bases.”
“The assault severely damaged radar systems at Camp Taji, north of Baghdad, and Imam Ali Base in Dhi Qar Province” in southern Iraq, he added.
