As reported by Regnum news agency, a series of explosions occurred in the Iraqi city of Erbil on the night of January 15-16. The explosions occurred near the US consulate and international airport in northern Iraq.

The IRGC later reported that Iran had fired 24 ballistic missiles at targets in Iraq and Syria. Four Khyber Breaker missiles were fired from Khuzestan province at ISIS positions in the Idlib region. The Iranian military launched another nine missiles at positions of “terrorist groups” in other areas of Syria.

In addition, four missiles from the west and seven missiles from the north-west of Iran were fired at the Mossad headquarters in Iraqi Kurdistan, the IRGC added. Iraqi authorities complained about aggression from Iran in an appeal to the UN Security Council.

The Tasnim agency previously reported that after the IRGC strikes on Erbil, the Chairman of the Security Council of the Democratic Party of Iraqi Kurdistan, Suleiman Amin Nader, could have been killed. The material states that Nader was one of the key figures in Iraqi Kurdistan, collaborated with Israeli intelligence, and also participated in organizing the terrorist attack that killed Iranian physicist and researcher at the Iranian Ministry of Defense Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
