Explosions sounded in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. According to Mash, referring to eyewitnesses, the possibility of a missile attack on the US consulate is not ruled out.
Sirens wail in the consulate. According to Baza, US Air Force planes have been lifted into the air.
The Iraqi National News Agency reports that at least three explosions have rocked the city. Air traffic has been suspended in the region.
“Rockets fell in the area of the US Consulate and Kurdistan 24 TV station in Salah al-Din in Erbil. As a result of the explosion, material damage was caused to the building of the Kurdistan 24 TV channel, RIA Novosti quotes a source in the Iraqi security service as saying to the Shafak News portal.
It is reported that, presumably, the Fatah-110 missiles were fired from the territory of Iran.
Erbil Governor Omed Khoshnav, after confirming the missile attack, said it was not clear whether the US consulate was the target. A possible target could also be the base of the US-led international coalition. In addition, according to Iraqi media, on the territory of the consulate, according to Iranian intelligence, there was a building of the Israeli Mossad. According to them, the choice of target is due to revenge for the alleged killing of two IRGC officers during the recent Israeli air strike in Syria.
According to Reuters, there are no casualties among the US military as a result of the missile attack.
