ERBIL, Iraq (AA) - Iraq's Erbil Governor Omed Khosnaw said on Tuesday that missile strikes in Erbil carried out by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are "inhuman terrorist" attacks.

Governor Khosnaw said in a statement: "An inhuman terrorist attack has been carried out against Erbil."

Separately, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq said that IRGC's allegations cited as reasons for attacks in Erbil city are "baseless."

Local media indicated that some of the missiles used in the attacks hit houses where civilians lived, while others fell near residences.

It was reported that fires broke out in some houses during the attacks, with four people killing and six others being injured.

Following reports of missile and drone attacks in various locations in Erbil, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps had claimed that they had struck the headquarters of "anti-Iran terrorist groups" and "spies" in the region with ballistic missiles.
