Kirkuk International Airport on Tuesday denied having any flights scheduled for the day, after a military aircraft flew at low altitude over parts of the province and sparked public speculation.

According to a statement from the airport’s media office, the published timetable “shows no departures or arrivals for today,” while regular flights remain scheduled for the rest of the week.
