On Sunday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi survived a drone strike assassination attempt on his home residence in the fortified Green Zone.

Maj. Gen. Saad Maan, a senior official in the Iraqi interior ministry, told the Wall Street Journal that two drones were involved in the attack. One of the drones carried two rockets, which included the one that exploded on impact.

Seven security officers were injured in the attack. The blast reportedly blew doors off their hinges, and splintered an exterior concrete staircase.

“I am fine, praise be to God, among my people, and I call for calm and restraint from everyone, for the sake of Iraq,” the prime minister, Mustafa al-Kadhimi wrote on Twitter following the attack. more
