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

On Monday, Iran launched two drones packed with explosives at the office of Kurdistan Region's Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and a senior security official in Erbil, Iraq. The drones, known as Hadid-110, were fired from the Iran-Iraq border region shortly after midnight, according to the region's Counter-Terrorism Service. The second drone struck the residence of the director of the Parastin intelligence agency in Erbil's Pirmam district.

There were no reports of casualties or significant damage. These drone attacks mark the latest in a series of cross-border assaults that have escalated since the Iran war began in late February. Iran and its proxies within Iraq have frequently targeted US troops, the consulate in Erbil, and regional infrastructure. The Counter-Terrorism Service strongly condemned the incident, holding the perpetrators fully accountable for their actions.
