BAGHDAD – A deadly rocket assault targeted a Kurdish military facility north of Erbil on Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of six Peshmerga soldiers and injuries to 22 others, according to military and security officials in Iraqi Kurdistan.
The attack struck the base in the northern region of Iraq’s Kurdistan territory, though authorities have not yet determined who was responsible for the deadly strike, sources confirmed.
The incident represents another violent episode in the ongoing instability affecting Iraq’s Kurdish region, where Peshmerga forces serve as the primary military defenders of the autonomous territory.
