Italian military base struck by missile in Iraq's Erbil

An Italian military base in Iraq’s Kurdistan region was struck by a missile overnight, the Italian defense ministry said on X.

“A missile has struck our base in Erbil. There are no dead or injured among the Italian personnel. Everyone is safe,” the ministry said just after midnight Thursday.
Military personnel took shelter in a bunker and all were “well and safe,” said Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani in a separate post.

“Strong condemnation for the attack on the Italian base in Erbil,” Tajani said.
