Baku-APAThe U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday issued a notice restricting all U.S. airline companies from flying in the airspace above Iraq due to the "potentially hazardous situation created by the armed conflicts there", APA reports quoting Xinhua.

All flight operations in the Baghdad flight information region are prohibited until further advised, the agency said, citing "the armed conflicts between militants associated with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and Iraqi security forces and their allies."

The U.S. military launched its first airstrikes against Islamic militants in Iraq on Friday.
