ISTANBUL: Ukraine has condemned Monday’s missile attack by Iran on the northern Iraqi city of Erbil.
Kyiv offers its condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to all those who were injured, said a Ukrainian Foreign Ministry statement.
‘Ukraine supports the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Iraq,’ the statement added.
It also said that such actions by Iran pose a serious threat to regional security and stability, as well as ‘flagrantly violate the norms of international law.’
‘Iran must abandon its destructive actions in the world,” it added.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Tuesday that it had launched ballistic missiles against positions of “anti-Iran terrorist groups” and their backers in Syria and Iraq.
The IRGC claimed to have “destroyed” a local headquarters in northern Iraq of the Israeli spy agency Mossad in response to its role ‘in martyring IRGC and resistance commanders’ and planning terror attacks in Ira
