Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraqi political leaders condemned a drone attack targeting the residence of Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani in Duhok. Ammar al-Hakim, head of al-Hikma (Wisdom) movement, described the strike as a serious threat to Iraq’s security and sovereignty and called for stronger measures to protect stability. The Azm Alliance also denounced the attack, warning that it undermines efforts to ease tensions and preserve internal security. It called for identifying those responsible and boosting coordination between Baghdad and Erbil to prevent further incidents. The reactions follow a similar condemnation from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who ordered a joint Baghdad-Erbil investigation into the attack.
