Three "trapped" drones were sent in the direction of the residence of Mustafa al-Kazimi, the Iraqi Prime Minister, on the night of Sun.


Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazimi escaped a "failed assassination attempt" on the night of Saturday to Sunday.

The attack took place at his residence in the Baghdad Green Zone, a highly secure neighborhood often targeted by rocket fire.

Three "trapped" drones have targeted the Prime Minister's house, detailed Iraqi sources.

Two were shot down in flight.

The third detonated her charge outside the house, injuring two bodyguards.

"I am fine, thank God, and I call for calm and restraint on the part of all for the good of Iraq," Moustafa al-Kazimi responded in a tweet.
