Iraqi Prime Minister Survives Drone Explosive Assassination Attempt

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadimi says he was wounded in an attack on his home in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

Officials say the prime minister's residence in a special area of ​​the capital was attacked using a small drone loaded with explosives.
In a message posted on his Twitter account, the Prime Minister called on everyone to remain calm and calm for the sake of peace in the country.
Preliminary reports from the country say Mr al-Kadimi was taken to hospital after the attack.
Officials say at least six people have been injured in this new attack.
That is why the United States has launched a series of airstrikes on Iranian-backed militants in Iraq.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Mr al-Kadimi was sworn in as prime minister in May last year and has previously served as head of the country's intelligence service.
In recent weeks, supporters of a coalition of the country's political parties have staged protests near the prime minister's residence.
They have been protesting against the results of the country's general election, which they say was rigged.
More than 100 people were injured in clashes between Iraqi security forces and protesters last week.
