The Iraqi Foreign Ministry summoned Iran's charge d'affaires in Baghdad and handed him a protest note over the strikes on Erbil early on Tuesday, Iraqi News Agency reported.

Iraqi Kurdistan's counter-terrorism service said three armed drones were shot down on Tuesday over Erbil airport in northern Iraq, where the U.S. and other international forces are stationed.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said it launched barrages of ballistic missiles against the bases of "terrorists" and Israel's intelligence service Mossad in Syria and Iraq's Kurdistan Region, respectively, in response to recent anti-Iran "terror" attacks.
