Two drones attack Kurdistan Regional Government prime minister, head of protection agency
The statement added that the attacks were launched from Iranian territory and that no human casualties had been reported.
Two unmanned aerial vehicles targeted the prime minister's office and the residence of the head of the protection agency for the Kurdistan Regional Government on Monday, according to a security statement released by the KRG. The statement confirmed that the attacks originated from Iranian territory, and reported that there were no reported casualties.
Prime Minister Masrour Barzani responded to the incident on X/Twitter, condemning the "reckless and unacceptable attacks" as a "dangerous escalation and a direct threat to the security and stability of the Kurdistan Region." Barzani affirmed that the attacks would not hinder the government's ability to fulfill its duties and safeguard its citizens.
Axios had previously reported on Sunday that the Trump administration had engaged with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps through Barzani as a confidential communication channel. The Kurdistan Regional Government oversees a semi-autonomous region in northern Iraq and operates its headquarters in Erbil.
