In the early morning of November 7, local time, the Iraqi military said that a drone carrying explosives carried out a "failed assassination" on the Iraqi prime minister's residence, and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Kadimi was not injured and is currently in good condition. In addition to Kadimi, there were injuries.

Mustafa Kadimi said in a social media post that he was "fine." Khadimi said he had been and is committed to saving the Iraqi nation and people, and that the betrayed missiles would not discourage him, calling on the population to remain calm and restrained.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, and the Iraqi military says it is taking the necessary steps to respond.
