The Iraqi Kurdistan region’s counter-terrorism service said on Tuesday that drones which struck a civilian home in Erbil overnight, killing a couple, were launched from Iran.
In a statement issued early on Tuesday, the agency said the one-way attack drones targeting Erbil had taken off from inside Iranian territory.
The presidency of the Kurdistan region called on the Iraqi federal government to take responsibility to prevent such attacks and stop what it described as repeated violations against the region and its civilians.
The governor of Erbil said multiple drones and missiles were fired toward the city overnight.
He said the deaths of the couple brought the total number of people killed in attacks on the Kurdistan region since Feb. 28 to 16.
