TEHRAN: Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday that they struck US bases with missiles and drones in Erbil in Iraq\u2019s autonomous Kurdistan region, state media reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Guards said they \u201ccarried out a coordinated missile and drone attack on US bases in Erbil\u201d that destroyed a maintenance centre, warehouses and the \u201cguidance system of a US surveillance aerostat\u201d, according to a statement carried by state-run IRNA news agency.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the Middle East war, the northern Kurdistan region, where US-led anti-jihadist coalition troops are deployed, has been a target for attacks carried out by Iran or pro-Iran Iraqi armed groups.<\/p>\n

Iraqi Kurdish counterterrorism forces said on Wednesday that \u201cthe coalition forces downed ten explosive-laden drones in the airspace of Erbil province between 01:13 and 03:31 am\u201d local time, without causing casualties.<\/p>\n

An AFP journalist reported hearing explosions near Erbil\u2019s airport, which hosts coalition troops.<\/p>\n

Drone attacks have previously repeatedly targeted Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region, which is also home to a major US consulate complex.<\/p>\n

The Kurdistan region is also home to exiled Iranian Kurdish rebels who have also been a primary target for missile and drone attacks, blamed on Iran.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
