Iraqi Defense Reports Fire at Taji Munitions Storage
Today, a fire broke out in an ammunition warehouse at Taji Camp, north of Baghdad, due to rising temperatures that sometimes exceeded 50 degrees Celsius during the summer. The Iraqi Ministry of Defense stated that the fire was caused by the high temperatures, and the warehouse contained ammunition belonging to the 9th Armored Division. Security sources confirmed that an explosion occurred inside the warehouse as a result of the heat, and civil defense teams are continuing to combat the fire. The camp is used by Iraqi forces and has hosted troops from the International Coalition fighting ISIS before the coalition withdrew under an agreement stipulating a withdrawal by September. Iraq has been experiencing frequent fires and explosions in military bases and weapon depots, often due to poor safety standards and high temperatures during the summer.
