Six or seven explosions hit Baghdad's main airport, but there were no reports of casualties, a US army spokesman said.
"I can confirm that there were six to seven impacts in the northern part of Baghdad International Airport at between 10:00 am and 10:15 am (0700-0715 GMT)," the spokesman said, according to AFP.
"There are no reports of damage or injuries at this time," the spokesman added.
Earlier a US military spokesman said occupation soldiers shot dead three Iraqi attackers in a gun fight in Mosul overnight, without sustaining any injuries.
In the gun battle, "three were killed on the Iraqi side and no injuries on the coalition side," said the spokesman.
Local police said five Iraqis were killed and 12 others injured in Mosul's industrial zone when US troops returned fire after coming under attack from a group of unidentified gunmen.
"Three were armed with assault rifles. They began shooting at a patrol and the Americans responded with heavy gunfire," police officer Sulaiman Yussef Bakr said.
