Baghdad orders probe after drone targets Kurdistan president’s home

BAGHDAD: 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.
