Locals woke up overnight Wednesday to explosions from drones and missiles, shattering windows of various houses and causing significant damage to propoerties. Ibrahim Jawdat said he "woke up around 2:45 a.m. to one of the loudest bangs I've ever heard in my life," after a drone fell next to his family's house and detonated Wednesday, blasting out windows and spraying shattered glass across his bed. His neighbor, Hawkar Hadi, surveyed his damaged house: shattered windows, shrapnel fragments lodged in walls and furniture. "It’s difficult to be a victim of a war that we’re not part of or responsible for it," he said. "We’re paying the cost of things we didn’t do." Iran and allied Iraqi militias have fired missiles and drones at U.S. bases and its consulate in Irbil. Most have been intercepted, with some falling in residential areas. Irbil Gov. Omed Khoshnaw said Wednesday in a press conference that attacks targeting the Kurdish region's capital have exceeded 100 since Saturday and called on the federal government to compensate residents for the damages.
