Peregraf — A weaponized drone strike killed a married couple in Erbil Governorate, according to the Kurdistan Region’s Counter-Terrorism, which said "the drone was launched from Iran."
The attack occurred at approximately 00:15 a.m. on April 7, 2026, targeting a civilian home in the village of Zargazawi, located in the Darashakran district. The victims were identified as Mousa Anwar Rasul and Muzhda Asaad Hassan.
Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism said the strike directly hit the couple’s residence, killing both civilians. No additional casualties were reported.
The authorities condemned the attack in the strongest terms, describing it as a violation of international law and labeling it a “war crime,” emphasizing that the victims were civilians and the site was non-military.
The incident comes as regional tensions continue to escalate amid the ongoing U.S.-Israel war on Iran. Today, April 7, 2026, marks the 39th day of the conflict, which began with large-scale joint strikes on Iran on February 28 and has since spread across multiple countries in the region.
Kurdish officials have repeatedly warned about the growing threat posed by drone and missile attacks, particularly in areas near Erbil, and have called for stronger measures to prevent strikes.
No immediate response has been issued by Iranian officials regarding the latest attack.
