A drone attack targeted the house of the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, early on Saturday.

Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, air defences also shot down a drone ​near a Peshmerga fighters’ base in Duhok.

The strikes come amid a surge in ⁠attacks on both Iran-aligned militias and Kurdish forces ​as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran spills over into Iraq, ​drawing in multiple armed groups and straining Baghdad’s efforts to contain the fallout.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani condemned the attack on ​Kurdish President Nechirvan Barzani’s home and spoke with ​him by phone, his office said.

Sudani ordered the creation of a ‌joint ⁠federal-Kurdistan security and technical team to investigate the incidents and identify those responsible, the statement added.
