Earlier in the day, a security source in Iraq told Sputnik that several explosions occurred in Erbil near the US Consulate General and Erbil International Airport.
"In response to the recent terrorist attacks by Iran's enemies, spy headquarters and enemy headquarters of anti-Iran terrorist groups in parts of the Middle East region were attacked with several IRGC ballistic missiles," the IRGC was quoted as saying by the Tasnim news agency.
The report added that the IRGC fired ballistic missiles at one of the main headquarters of the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (Mossad) in Iraqi Kurdistan and destroyed it. The headquarters was reportedly the center for developing special operations and planning terrorist attacks in the Middle East region, in particular in Iran.
Four people were killed as a result of a missile strike conducted by the IRGC on Iraqi Kurdistan’s capital of Erbil, ABC News reported on Tuesday, citing an Iraqi security source.
No US facilities have been damaged by the missile attack in Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, Reuters reported citing a US official.
