Several killed in Drone Attack on Iraqi Kurdistan

Several inpiduals were reportedly murdered in a drone assault on a car in the Iraqi Kurdistan area on Monday, according to news sources.

According to a stated Iraqi source, the attack was launched in the Sulaymaniyah province village of Ranya.

The source also mentioned that several persons died as a result of the tragedy but did not give an exact count.

The victims' identities are still unknown. As of yet, no organisations or inpiduals have taken responsibility for the attack.

On Saturday, at least 125 people were hurt, and a political standoff was intensified, when thousands of supporters of Iraqi Shi’ite populist cleric Moqtada al-Sadr stormed Baghdad‘s guarded government zone and broke into parliament on Saturday.

Before entering parliament, demonstrators led by Sadr and his Sadrist Movement tore down concrete barriers and invaded the Green Zone, which is home to government agencies and diplomatic institutions.

Among the thousands of protestors waving national flags and placards with Sadr’s image, one named Abu Foad stated, “We are calling for a government free from corruption… and those are the demands of the people.”

Similar protests were held on Wednesday, but this time at least 125 people, including protesters and police, were hurt, according to a statement from the health ministry.

Stones were thrown by Sadr’s followers, while police used tear gas and stun grenades.

Alaa Hussain, a 49-year-old demonstrator, added, “Those crooked people have caused injustices for us Iraqis to suffer.
