In the statement made by the Kurdistan Security Council: "On January 15-16, 2024, at 23.30, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard targeted many civilian areas in Hewlêr with many ballistic missiles. Unfortunately, according to the initial findings, 4 civilians were martyred and 6 civilians were injured. Among the injured some of them are in serious condition. The Revolutionary Guard claimed that the attack targeted the positions of groups opposing Iran. This excuse is baseless and we reject it. Unfortunately, attacks on Erbil have always been carried out for unfounded reasons. Erbil, which is a stable region, has never been a source of threat to any side. This is a clear violation of the sovereignty of the Kurdistan Region and Iraq. The Iraqi federal government and the international community must not remain silent against this crime”
