Baghdad: The Baghdad Operations Command has announced the cancellation of a previously scheduled controlled detonation of "war remnants" near Baghdad International Airport. This decision comes after an earlier announcement regarding the planned operation.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the cancellation was made public by the Baghdad Operations Command, which had initially informed about the controlled detonation. The operation was intended to safely dispose of remnants of war in the vicinity of the airport. The reasons for the cancellation have not been disclosed, and it remains unclear if the operation will be rescheduled for a later date.

The initial announcement of the detonation had raised concerns among local residents and airport authorities regarding potential impacts on safety and daily operations. The Baghdad Operations Command has been actively involved in managing and neutralizing unexploded ordnances in the region, a legacy of past conflicts in Iraq.
