MCNS meets to discuss last night's attack on Erbil 

Shafaq News / The Ministerial Council of National Security held an emergency meeting today, headed by Prime Minister and Commander in Chief of the armed forces, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, to discuss the latest developments following the attack that targeted Erbil last night.

No further details were disclosed. 

Around a dozen missiles rained down on Erbil near midnight, reportedly targeting the US consulate's new building. Though neighboring areas were struck, the attack seems to have only caused material damage and minor injuries to two citizens. 

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for the attack later on Sunday. 

The IRGC said it had targeted a "strategic center of the Zionist regime's conspiracies and wickedness".

Earlier this week, Iran said Israeli airstrikes in Syria had killed two IRGC officers and vowed revenge.

"Any repetition of attacks by Israel will be met with a harsh, decisive, and destructive response," the IRGC said a statement Sunday.
