According to AFP citing a security official, Iran carried out a missile strike in northern Iraq on Monday night, killing six Kurdish security personnel in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. The official, who requested anonymity, said two people remained missing and 22 others were injured following the attack. Kurdish media outlet Rudaw, quoting regional forces, reported a slightly lower death toll of five.

AFP further reported that six ballistic missiles were launched by Iran targeting Peshmerga forces in Iraqi Kurdistan. Iranian media stated that the operation was conducted by the drone unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground forces in the Erbil area.

The differing casualty figures and limited official statements indicate uncertainty about the full scale of the attack and its aftermath.
