Saudi Arabia condemns missile attack on Iraq’s Kurdish regional capital Irbil

RIYADH, 14 March 2022, (TON): Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned a missile attack that struck Iraq’s Kurdish regional capital Irbil.

Iraqi state TV quoted “the Kurdistan region's counter-terrorism force as saying 12 missiles launched from outside Iraq hit Irbil.”

The Kurdish interior ministry said “the missiles caused only material damage and one civilian was injured.”

Iran's Revolutionary Guards later released a statement taking responsibility for the missile attacks against Israeli strategic centres in Irbil, Iran's state media reported.

The Kingdom’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed the solidarity of the Saudi government with Iraq and support for any measures that the country takes to protect its security and stability.
