| More Iran proxy shenanigans by the Shiite militias. |
According to information obtained exclusively by Kurdistan24, the drones were fired from areas outside Mosul before Coalition air defense systems intercepted and destroyed them en route to Erbil.
The attempted strike caused neither casualties nor material damage, underscoring the effectiveness of the defensive measures protecting the city while also highlighting the continuing threat posed by illegal armed groups operating beyond the control of Iraqi state institutions.
The intelligence identifying the launch area represents the most significant new development to emerge from Friday's incident. It points to the continued operational capability of outlawed militias to mount drone attacks against the Kurdistan Region despite repeated efforts to counter such threats.
Coalition forces successfully neutralized all five drones within a brief period on Friday morning before they could reach their intended targets.
The Kurdistan Region's Directorate General of Counter Terrorism (CTD) reported that the interceptions occurred between 9:32 a.m. and 9:45 a.m., preventing what could have become another attack on the regional capital.
