Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on the second target and on the first target's description: Kurdistan24 reports the residence of the director of the Parastin protection agency, while Rudaw reports the residence of the director of the Security Council; Kurdistan24 and Rudaw both place the first drone at the prime minister's private office, while Maariv describes it as his residence and puts the second drone at a security council building. The remaining facts are uniform: two Hadid-110 explosive drones launched from the Iranian side of the border struck Erbil province's Pirmam district at 12:28 a.m. on August 17, causing no casualties, per the Directorate General of Counter Terrorism.
