In a message to Barzani, Abdullah also offered condolences for victims of a separate drone attack in Soran.

The strike, which Barzani previously described as a “very dangerous escalation for Iraq,” drew widespread condemnation from Iraqi political forces, as well as regional and international figures. Earlier today, Syria and the United Arab Emirates also denounced the attack, warning that it threatens Iraq’s stability and regional security.
