Iraq condemns drone attack in Erbil
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi says he will not tolerate ‘malicious attempts’ that seek to undermine the ‘stability of our people’
“Based on our constitutional responsibility, we strongly condemn the attack carried out by a drone, which violated the airspace of the city of Erbil,” al-Zaidi wrote on the US social media platform X.
“We affirm that we will not tolerate these malicious attempts, which desperately seek to undermine the stability of our people and their confident path toward building the state and fostering social peace,” he said.
He noted that security agencies had been ordered to coordinate with Kurdish regional forces to prevent further attacks.
His remarks came after several explosions were heard in the northern city of Erbil on Wednesday evening, according to local media reports.
The explosions were caused by air defense systems intercepting a drone, the Erbil-based Rudaw Media Network reported.
We must take charge of our narrative. Research indicates that 92% of their Muslim coverage is negative. Help us change that.
