A drone attack damaged the empty residence of Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani in Duhok, a regional official told AP; no one claimed it. Iraq's prime minister condemned it as heinous and ordered an investigation, and the U.S. State Department blamed 'Iran's terrorist militia proxies in Iraq'.

Why it matters

An attack on the region's head of government widens the militias' targets from U.S. sites to Iraqi Kurdish leaders, as Kurdish officials warned that armed groups outside state control pose a growing threat.
