Drone attacks target Kurdistan region prime minister's office in Erbil

Iran launched two explosive drones on Monday into the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, targeting the office of Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and a senior security official in Erbil, according to the region's Counter-Terrorism Service. The drones, equipped with explosives, were fired from the border area with Iran shortly after midnight.

The second drone struck the residence of the director of the Parastin intelligence agency in Erbil's Pirmam district. No casualties or significant damage were reported in these attacks. They mark a series of escalating cross-border assaults since the Iran war began in late February. Iran and its proxies in Iraq have frequently targeted US personnel, the consulate in Erbil, and regional infrastructure.

The Counter-Terrorism Service strongly condemned these incidents, holding the perpetrators fully accountable for their consequences.
