Two drones attacked the office of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG)’s prime minister and the residence of the head of the protection agency on Monday, the KRG announced in a security statement.<\/p>\n

The statement added that the attacks were launched from Iranian<\/a> territory and that no human casualties had been reported.<\/p>\n

Kurdistan Prime Minister Masrour Barzani reacted to the attack in a post on X\/Twitter.<\/p>\n

“I condemn these reckless and unacceptable attacks in the strongest terms,” he announced, calling the attacks “a dangerous escalation and a direct threat to the security and stability of the Kurdistan<\/a> Region.”<\/p>\n
