Erbil hotel targeted in drone attack

A series of drone attacks occurred in Iraq’s Kurdistan region on Friday, targeting the Erbil Arjaan by Rotana hotel, a US military base near Erbil’s airport, and the headquarters of an Iranian Kurdish opposition group. Additionally, a drone strike in Basra set fire to offices of US firms Halliburton and KBR. The US embassy warned that Iran-aligned militias may target hotels frequented by foreigners, urging US citizens to leave the region.
