Iraq’s Kurdish metropolis of Erbil was hit by rockets
STORY: According to the authorities, the Kurdish metropolis of Erbil in northern Iraq was hit by a dozen ballistic missiles on Sunday. There weren’t any victims. The attack was launched from Iran, said a US official who asked to remain anonymous. US forces are stationed at the airport in the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region, and have repeatedly come under rocket and drone fire in the past. They were last the target of ballistic missile attacks in January 2020 – in Iran’s retaliation for the killing of an Iranian military commander. In Iraq and in neighboring Syria, however, there are repeated fights between Iran-backed Shiite militias and US forces.
