The Kurdistan Region's Directorate General of Counter Terrorism said Monday that two Iranian Hadid-110 explosive drones were launched from the Iranian side of the border at the private office of Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and at the residence of a regional security director. The directorate said the drones struck Erbil province's Pirmam district at 12:28 a.m. and that the attack caused no casualties. It called the attack completely unacceptable and said those responsible would bear full responsibility for the consequences. The statement named no perpetrator, and no interception was reported.
