Shafaq News- Erbil
On Wednesday, Kurdish President Nechirvan Barzani attended a funeral gathering for victims of a drone attack that killed a couple in the village of Zargazrawi in Erbil province.
Barzani earlier condemned the attack, renewing calls on the
federal government to assume its responsibilities to prevent what he described
as terrorist attacks and to ensure the protection of civilians in the Kurdistan
Region.
Drone and missile attacks began across the Kurdistan Region
after the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran on
February 28, with around 474 strikes recorded in the following month, according
to the Community Peacemaker Teams (CPT). The attacks killed 14 people and
injured 93 others, targeting US diplomatic facilities, Iranian Kurdish
opposition bases, Peshmerga-linked sites, oil fields, communication
infrastructure, residential areas, and public facilities.
