CAIRO (Reuters) – Iraqi Kurdish Prime Minister Masrour Barzani condemned Wednesday’s rocket attack in Erbil and called on Iraq’s federal prime minister to hold those responsible accountable.

“I strongly condemn tonight’s rocket attack in Erbil. The KRG will not tolerate any attempt to undermine Kurdistan’s stability and our response will be robust,” Barzani, who leads the Kurdistan Regional Government, said in a Tweet
