FYI
The incidents come amid ongoing tensions and conflict between the United States and Iran, during which the Kurdistan Region’s airspace has repeatedly been used in missile and drone strikes. Due to its geographical location, the presence of Coalition forces bases and the headquarters of Iranian-Kurdish opposition parties, the Region remains exposed to such attacks, which have caused civilian and material damage.
