Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have launched missile attacks on multiple “terrorist” targets in Syria and in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, state media reported according to AFP.
The attacks destroyed “a spy headquarters” and a “gathering of anti-Iranian terrorist groups” in Arbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, the official IRNA news agency reported, quoting a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Four people were killed and six others wounded in the attack, according to Iraq’s Kurdistan security council.
The prominent businessman Peshraw Dizayee was among several civilians who were killed, the Kurdistan Democratic Party said.
The IRGC also hit targets in Syria with ballistic missiles, including the “gathering places of commanders and main elements related to recent terrorist operations, particularly the Islamic State group”, their Sepah News service reported.
It added that the strike on Syria was in response to recent attacks by terrorist groups that killed Iranians in the southern cities of Kerman and Rask.
Explosions were heard in Aleppo and its countryside, where “at least 4 missiles that came from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea” fell, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said.
