Iran killed at least eight people in attacks on America’s Kurdish allies in Iraq, the region’s president reported.

Nechirvan Barzani, the president of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, condemned the strikes.

“Targeting the region and the resumption of violence are a serious escalation and a blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty,” he said in a statement.

Iraqi air defenses shot down Iranian drones over Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, the Times of Israel reported.
