ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Several explosive-laden drones were intercepted in Erbil province on Monday as Iran’s war with the US and Israel continues to escalate.
The drones targeted Erbil International Airport, the US Consulate in Erbil, and an airbase in Erbil’s Bahirka district, Rudaw has learned. Footage obtained by Rudaw shows the moment several of the drones were intercepted in the skies over the Kurdish capital.
Iraq-based pro-Iran militia groups have claimed responsibility for some of the attacks, while Tehran has also confirmed its involvement in attacks on Kurdistan Region.
