STORYLINE:
The Rotana Arjaan hotel in Irbil, the capital of northern Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region, was targeted in a drone attack Friday, local media reported.

No casualties were reported.

The broadening Iran war has ricocheted across the region and beyond.

A wave of drone and missile attacks were intercepted over Irbil on Tuesday. Multiple drones targeted areas around the U.S. consulate building but did not hit it directly.

Debris from the intercepted drones caused fires and property damage.

Iran-linked Iraqi militias have also claimed multiple attacks on the Kurdish region, which hosts bases with U.S. troops.

Nearly every country in the Middle East has sustained damage from missile hits, drone strikes or shrapnel. Many are reporting casualties.
