US air defense engages drones over Erbil


U.S. air defense systems were engaged against drones over Erbil, in northern Iraq, after American and Israeli strikes against Iran, AFP journalists reported Saturday.

Explosions were heard and smoke was visible in the sky, they said from near the U.S. consulate in Erbil. The powerful pro-Iran Iraqi group Kataeb Hezbollah warned Saturday of imminent attacks on U.S. bases after airstrikes killed two fighters at an Iraqi military base housing the group.
