Attack Reported on U.S. Facilities in Erbil

Security sources said air defenses shot down a drone near the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, the capital of Iraq's Kurdistan Region, on Saturday. A local report said the system protecting the consulate intercepted the aircraft and that authorities opened an investigation. A separate Hebrew report citing a pro-Iranian Iraqi outlet said American bases in Erbil had been attacked, without specifying the weapon or outcome. The reports did not identify who launched the drone, and no casualties or damage were announced.
