the floor of the official residence and the stairs are all messed up with debris.
At the dawn of the 7th local time, a drone attack occurred at the Prime Minister's office located in the Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq.
The Green Zone is where government buildings and embassies of each country are located. Two out of three drones were shot down, but one was found to have hit the official residence.
Prime Minister al-Qadhimi was not harmed, the Iraqi government said, while seven people who were guarding the outskirts were injured.
[Mustafa al-Kadhimi/Prime Minister of Iraq: I would like to say this to the Iraqi people and those who are worried about the work tonight.
The prime minister's residence was vilely attacked, but fortunately I'm fine.] The
Iraqi government took a position to condemn it, calling it a heinous crime targeting Iraq.
The forces claiming to be behind the incident have not yet emerged.
However, attention is being paid to the fact that the attack took place amid heightened political conflict after the general election last month.
When the Fatah Alliance, which is linked to the pro-Iranian militia, suffered a catastrophic defeat, supporters are arguing that the election was fraudulent.
