Baghdad, January 16 (QNA) - Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid on Tuesday strongly condemned the missile attack that targeted the city of Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, considering it a violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
The Iraqi president said in a post on X that the attack undermines the security and stability of the country.
