An explosive drone attack targets the office of Iraqi Kurdistan’s Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and the home of the Kurdistan security chief, according to reports from regional media. Officials say no casualties are reported at the time of the reports.
Both outlets describe the incident as involving explosive drones, but they focus on different parts of the story. Al Jazeera reports that the attack targets Barzani’s office and the security chief’s residence, while The Hindu emphasizes that drones hit the prime minister’s office and notes that there is no immediate claim of responsibility from any group. Neither report provides confirmed information on who carried out the attack or the extent of the damage.
The incident occurs amid ongoing security tensions in Iraq, where multiple armed groups operate and tensions between regional authorities and other actors can affect the security environment. The lack of an initial claim leaves the motives and responsible party unclear as authorities assess the situation.
