BAGHDAD, Apr 7 (NNN-NINA) – Three rockets landed near Iraq’s northern Kurdish regional capital, Erbil, yesterday, causing no casualties, the region’s Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) said, in a statement.
The rockets were fired from al-Hamdaniya, a town 60 km west of Erbil, and hit an inhabited area near an oil installation, in the Khabat District of Erbil province, the Kurdish CTS statement said.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack.
On Mar 13, the Kurdish regional government said, 12 long-range ballistic missiles were fired from the east, outside the Iraqi borders, towards the new building of the U.S. consulate in Erbil and the surrounding residential areas, leaving one civilian injured.
Later in the day, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador to Iraq, to protest against the missile attack.– NNN-NINA
