Baghdad says ‘unacceptable’ for KRG to blame drone attacks on PMF
[Rudaw] The Iraqi government on Saturday said it was "unacceptable" for Erbil to accuse the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al-Shaabi) of being complicit in a string of drone attacks in the Kurdistan Region.

"The accusation issued by the Ministry of Interior in the Kurdistan Regional Government [KRG] against an official Iraqi security institution is unacceptable, condemned, and impermissible under any pretext, especially since it was issued in the absence of evidence," the prime minister’s spokesperson Sabah al-Numan said in a statement.

On Friday, the KRG’s Interior Ministry blamed the PMF for recent drone attacks that it said were carried out "with the intention of creating chaos." It called on Baghdad to bring the perpetrators to account.

Baghdad said that such accusations risk undermining the country’s stability and instead urged "cooperation and coordination through official channels."

Multiple explosive-laden drones have crashed or been downed in the Kurdistan Region since a US-brokered ceasefire between Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Israel went into effect on June 24.

Most recently, a drone was intercepted near Erbil International Airport on Thursday, but "did not cause any casualties or material damage," said the Directorate General of Counter Terrorism (CTD), which is part of the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC).

Iraqi militia groups have denied involvement and blamed the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS).

During the 12-day Iran-Israel war, numerous drones and rockets flew through the airspace of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. Several of them fell or were intercepted.
