Photo: Iraqi Forces Seize Truck Fitted Out as Katyusha Rocket Launcher

Iraq’s Joint Operations Command (JOC) announced on Sunday it had captured a flatbed truck in northern Baghdad that had been turned into a Katyusha rocket launcher.

According to the statement tweeted by the JOC, which oversees most of the Iraqi Army, the vehicle was discovered in the northern neighborhood of Rashidiya.

​The JOC noted that while Iraqi forces approached the truck, two missiles fired “spontaneously” but “fell in a remote area without significant losses.”

The JOC did not say to which group it believed the truck’s operators pledged allegiance.

Another Kia truck fitted for firing the unguided rockets was also found in Rashidiya in March, although the launch tubes were of a different design.
