Baghdad, March 01 (QNA) - Harir Air Base in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was subjected to two consecutive attacks at dawn Sunday.

The specific nature of the strikes, whether conducted via missiles or drones, has not yet been confirmed.

An Iraqi security source in Erbil province stated that the extent of the damage resulting from the two attacks remains unknown. However, thick plumes of smoke were observed rising near the adjacent airport.

Harir Air Base had previously come under rocket fire on Saturday, with four violent explosions heard in the areas surrounding the facility.

In a related development, Iraqi forces announced today that two drones crashed in the Nineveh Plains region of northern Iraq. This coincides with a wave of mutual military escalation between the United States and the Israeli entity on one side, and Iran on the other. (QNA)
