IRBIL, Iraq: The US-led coalition in Iraq intercepted on Friday explosive-laden drones over the Kurdish city of Irbil where debris fell near a hotel, Kurdish security forces said.
“The international coalition forces downed four explosive-laden drones over Irbil,” counter-terrorism forces in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region said in a statement.
“Debris from one of the downed drones fell” near a hotel and no casualties were reported, they added.
Earlier, the United States warned that Iranian-backed fighters may target hotels in Kurdistan that are frequented by foreigners.
