Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have "targeted and destroyed one of the main intelligence headquarters of the Zionist regime (Mossad) in the Iraqi Kurdistan region" in the "ballistic missile" raid on Erbil in northern Iraq.
According to an IRGC statement, the target was "the center for the development of espionage operations and the planning of terrorist actions in the region and especially in our beloved country. Offensive operations will continue until the last drops of the martyrs' blood are avenged," the statement concludes.
At least "four civilians" were killed and six others were injured in the attack, according to authorities in the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan. The ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (PDK) in Erbil also reports the deaths of civilians, including a real estate tycoon and members of his family.
