Baghdad orders probe after drone targets Kurdistan president’s home

(Reuters/Al Arabiya) A drone attack targeted the home of the president of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region early on Saturday, security sources said, in an incident that comes as tensions continue to rise across northern Iraq. Air defenses also shot down a drone near a Peshmerga fighters’ base in Duhok, the sources added. The strikes come amid a surge in attacks on both Iran-aligned militias and Kurdish forces as the US-Israeli war against Iran spills over into Iraq, drawing in multiple armed groups and straining Baghdad’s efforts to contain the fallout. – Baghdad orders probe after drone targets Kurdistan president’s home
