Iranian missiles land in Iraq city: Kurdish media

STORY: The Guards said they launched missile attacks against espionage centers and "gatherings of anti-Iranian terrorist groups" near Iraq's northern city of Erbil, while targeting the "perpetrators of terrorist operations in the Islamic Republic, particularly the Islamic State".

Explosions were heard in an area some 40 kilometers (25 miles) northeast of Erbil in the Kurdistan region, three security sources said, in an area near the U.S. consulate as well as civilian residences.

No U.S. facilities were impacted by the missiles strikes, two U.S. officials told Reuters.

Reuters could not independently verify any of the reports. Israeli government officials were not reachable for immediate comment.
