Blasts reported in Erbil, Kurdistan region of Iraq

Several explosions were reported in Erbil, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, according to local reports. The blasts are described as an apparent Iranian response to U.S. strikes.

Local reports from the Kurdistan region of Iraq describe multiple explosions in Erbil on the evening of June 10. The blasts are attributed by regional sources to an Iranian response following U.S. strikes in the area. The reports are based on a single source and remain unverified by official Iraqi or U.S. sources. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the IRGC claimed a ballistic missile strike on a U.S. radar site in Erbil, though that claim also remains unconfirmed.
