The residence of the President and former President of the Kurdish Autonomous Region in northern Iraq were attacked by drones on the 28th and 29th, respectively, with no reports of casualties. French President Macron warned that efforts must be made to avoid Iraq being drawn into this round of conflict in the Middle East and prevent the situation from escalating further. The residence of the Kurdish Regional President Nechirvan Barzani was attacked by drones on the 28th. Reports suggest that the target of the attack was Barzani's official residence, while others claim it was his private residence. US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Thomas Pigeot issued a statement condemning this "act of terrorism". The Iraqi central government has announced that an investigation will be launched.
