SULAIMANI — Iraq’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Iran’s missile
attack on Sidakan near the border in Erbil governorate on Wednesday (May 11), stating,
the country’s territory must be protected from external interference.
The ministry insisted Iraq must not be used as a stage to threaten
neighboring country’s security and emphasized the need for dialogue to deal
with security issues "in a manner that preserves Iraq’s sovereignty and
enhances security and stability in the region.”
The mayor of Sidakan announced in a statement the area came under missile
attack at about 8:20 am on Wednesday and that no casualties were recorded.
Iran’s Tasnim News Agency said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
launched an artillery attack targeting "strongholds of terrorist groups” in
Erbil on Wednesday morning, adding there had been no details on casualties or
damage due to the strikes.
