An Iraqi armed group named Ashab al-Kahf has claimed responsibility for a drone attack targeting what it described as a 'Mossad office' in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil, according to Al Jazeera. The claim was made through a statement posted on Telegram, where the group said it carried out the strike on the facility.

The statement did not provide details about the extent of damage or any casualties resulting from the attack. Alongside the claim, the group also urged civilians to stay away from areas near U.S. military bases across Iraq, suggesting possible future risks or operations in those zones.

No independent confirmation of the attack or its impact was reported in the source, and official responses from Iraqi or Israeli authorities were not mentioned.

A drone attack targeted a United States diplomatic facility located near Baghdad International Airport, according to a Reuters report citing security sources. The incident occurred in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, though immediate details on casualties or damage were not available. Journalists present in the city reported hearing multiple explosions that may have been linked to the attack.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the assault. The report did not specify the exact nature of the facility or the extent of the impact. The attack adds to a series of recent security incidents in the region, though the source did not provide further context or official responses.

Authorities were reportedly investigating the situation, but as of the latest update, no official statements had been released regarding the perpetrators or potential motives.

A drone attack targeted Iraq’s national intelligence headquarters in central Baghdad on Saturday, killing one intelligence officer and injuring another, according to the country’s security media unit. The injured person was taken to a hospital for treatment. The attack was confirmed by General Saad Maan, head of Iraq’s security media unit, who said it occurred in the heart of the capital.

Separately, AFP reported that another drone strike hit a communications building in Baghdad housing an office of a security agency that cooperates with the US-led coalition in counter-extremism operations. Iraq’s National Intelligence Service stated that the attack near its headquarters was carried out by an “unlawful group.”

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks so far, and authorities have launched an investigation to determine who was behind them.

A drone attack struck the Mansour residential district of Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, according to security sources cited on March 21, 2026. One of the drones reportedly targeted a building belonging to an Iraqi intelligence agency. Another source told AFP that the building housed a security agency coordinating operations with U.S. advisers in Iraq.

A separate drone that was filming the operation lost control and crashed into a private sports club popular among Iraq’s elite and foreign diplomats. The incident has heightened concerns about security conditions in the capital.

Following the attack, renewed anxiety has emerged over Baghdad’s overall security situation, though no further details about casualties or responsibility were provided in the report.

NATO has withdrawn almost all of its personnel from Iraq amid regional instability triggered by the ongoing Iran war, according to Iraqi National Security Advisor’s office officials cited by AFP and Al Jazeera. The withdrawal, described as temporary, follows repeated attacks on the NATO mission in Baghdad after U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran. Only a small team remains in Iraq, while the rest have been relocated to NATO’s command center in Naples, Italy.

NATO expressed gratitude to Iraq and allied nations for ensuring the safe transfer of its staff. In a statement, General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, praised the professionalism of the mission’s members. The alliance confirmed that the last personnel left Iraq and will continue operations from Naples.

The NATO Mission Iraq is a non-combat advisory and capacity-building mission aimed at helping Iraq strengthen its security institutions, stabilize the country, combat terrorism, and prevent the resurgence of ISIL.

A new attack has struck the United States Embassy compound in Baghdad, Iraq, early Wednesday local time, according to AFP and Reuters. Explosions were heard in the heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses numerous diplomatic missions and international organizations. The embassy’s air defense system intercepted a rocket aimed at the compound, while a nearby luxury hotel in the same area caught fire after being hit by a drone.

The US Embassy in Baghdad has faced multiple attacks since the start of the Iran war, reflecting persistent instability in the region. The Green Zone remains one of the most secure yet frequently targeted areas in Iraq, often visited by foreign diplomats. In a separate incident on Tuesday, four people were killed in an attack on a house in Baghdad’s Al-Jadiriyah neighborhood.

The renewed violence underscores the fragile security situation in Iraq’s capital as regional conflicts continue to spill over into the country’s diplomatic and civilian zones.

Multiple explosions struck Baghdad on Monday, killing at least four people in an air raid on a building used by the Iran-backed Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) in the Jadriyah district. The attack followed drone strikes targeting the United States Embassy in the city’s fortified Green Zone, where air defences intercepted several drones and one reportedly struck inside the compound. A separate drone hit the Al Rasheed Hotel near the embassy, causing a minor fire but no casualties, according to Iraq’s Ministry of Interior.

The PMF, an umbrella group of mostly Shia paramilitary factions aligned with Iran, was formally integrated into Iraq’s security forces. The Iraqi army condemned the earlier suspected US strike on a PMF checkpoint in Al-Qaim, which killed at least eight troops, calling it a “treacherous and cowardly attack.” Security forces have since blocked roads to the Green Zone with armoured vehicles.

The violence coincided with reports of drone attacks on Iraq’s Majnoon oilfield in Basra province and the death of a senior Kataib Hezbollah commander. Iraq’s oil minister said a key pipeline to Turkiye would reopen within a week to resume disrupted exports.

A drone attack targeted the United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, on Tuesday morning local time. One drone crashed near the embassy compound, while another was intercepted and destroyed by air defense systems. Smoke was seen rising from the area following the incident, according to media reports.

The US Embassy is located in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which has experienced multiple attempted attacks in recent days. The Iraqi Interior Ministry previously reported that a drone had also struck the Al-Rashid Hotel within the same zone. The recent incidents highlight ongoing security challenges in the area.

Authorities have not yet provided details on casualties or identified those responsible for the attack, leaving questions about the perpetrators and their motives.

The Pentagon has released the identities of six US service members killed when a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq earlier this week. In a statement on Saturday, the Pentagon said preliminary findings indicate the crash was not caused by hostile action. The incident occurred Thursday and increased the number of US personnel killed in the anti-Iran military campaign to at least 13. Another aircraft involved in the operation landed safely, according to officials.

The Pentagon confirmed that the victims were crew members on duty at the time, including three from the US Air Force and three from the Air National Guard. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, though US Central Command stated it was not due to enemy fire or friendly fire. Meanwhile, the Iran-backed coalition “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” claimed responsibility for downing a KC-135 and said it had targeted another aircraft that escaped.

The KC-135 crash marks at least the fourth US military aircraft lost in the ongoing conflict, following earlier friendly-fire incidents over Kuwait.

Two United States airbases in Iraq came under eight separate attacks within a 24-hour period, according to a report published on March 14, 2026. The assaults, carried out between early Friday and early Saturday, were claimed by the Islamic Resistance, a coalition of Iran-aligned armed political groups in Iraq. In a statement, the group said its fighters launched drones and missiles targeting the Al-Harir and Al-Asad airbases, though no further details were provided.

The statement also claimed missile strikes on the US embassy in Iraq, which reportedly damaged the embassy’s helipad, according to Iraqi security officials. Neither the US Department of Defense nor the airbases issued any comment regarding the incidents.

The attacks followed the collapse of nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, which ended without agreement on February 27. Shortly afterward, the United States launched “Operation Epic Fury,” while Israel began “Operation Roaring Lion,” signaling heightened military activity in the region.

A drone attack struck the United States Embassy in Baghdad on Saturday, according to a report by AFP. An official confirmed that a drone hit the embassy compound, and another security source verified the authenticity of the attack on the diplomatic mission. The incident occurred in the Iraqi capital, though no details were provided about casualties or damage within the embassy premises.

Reports cited by AFP indicated that the attack took place shortly after two Iran-backed fighters were killed in Baghdad. The timing of the strike has drawn attention to the ongoing tensions in the region, where multiple armed groups operate with varying allegiances. The report did not specify who was responsible for the drone assault or whether any group had claimed responsibility.

Further information about the extent of the damage or the response from US or Iraqi authorities was not available at the time of reporting.

The United States Central Command has confirmed that all six crew members aboard a KC-135 refueling aircraft were killed when the plane crashed in western Iraq. The confirmation came after earlier reports indicated that four crew members had died and two were missing. The update clarified that all six personnel on board lost their lives in the incident.

According to a post by CENTCOM on social media platform X, the cause of the crash remains under investigation. However, preliminary findings suggest that the aircraft was not brought down by hostile action or friendly fire. Authorities stated that the identities of the deceased crew members will be released 24 hours after their families have been notified.

The crash adds to ongoing operational challenges for US forces in the region, though officials have not linked the incident to any external threat pending the outcome of the investigation.

A United States refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq on Thursday, killing four of the six crew members on board, according to a statement from the US Central Command (CENTCOM) released on Friday. The remaining two crew members are still being sought as rescue operations continue in the area.

CENTCOM said the KC-135 refueling aircraft went down in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury. The command confirmed that two aircraft were involved in the incident, with one crashing in western Iraq while the other landed safely. CENTCOM emphasized that the crash was not caused by hostile action or friendly fire.

The incident adds to ongoing operational challenges for US forces in the region, though CENTCOM has not released further details about the cause of the crash or the status of the rescue efforts.

An Iran-backed armed coalition known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed responsibility for downing a US military aircraft in western Iraq. According to a live report by Al Jazeera, the group stated on its official Telegram channel that its fighters used an air defense system to target a US KC-135 refueling aircraft, which they claimed was shot down.

The US military has denied the claim. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Thursday that two aircraft were involved in the incident, which occurred in 'friendly airspace.' According to CENTCOM, one aircraft crashed in western Iraq while the other landed safely in Israel. The command emphasized that the crash was not caused by enemy fire or friendly fire.

The conflicting accounts highlight ongoing tensions in the region, though no independent verification of the militia’s claim or the cause of the crash has been reported in the source.

A French soldier was killed and several others injured in an attack in Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, according to French President Emmanuel Macron. This marks the first death of a French soldier in the ongoing conflict in the area. The French army earlier stated that its troops were engaged in training exercises with Iraqi partners when the drone strike occurred.

President Macron described the attack on French forces in Erbil as unacceptable. French troops have been stationed in the Kurdistan region as part of an international coalition fighting against the Islamic State (IS) group. Several hundred French soldiers are currently deployed there to support anti-IS operations and to train local forces.

The incident highlights the continuing security risks faced by coalition forces operating in northern Iraq, where sporadic attacks still occur despite the weakening of IS influence in the region.
