A massive explosion has rocked Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, after what reports describe as a kamikaze drone strike. Dramatic videos circulating online appear to show a huge fireball lighting up the night sky as anti-aircraft guns attempt to intercept the incoming drone. RT reported that the drone struck the headquarters of a Kurdish opposition group, while some reports claimed Iran was behind the attack. The latest strike comes amid escalating tensions in northern Iraq, following recent drone attacks near the US Consulate and growing warnings from Tehran to Kurdish leaders. As regional tensions intensify, fears of a wider Middle East conflict continue to mount.
