A missile attack on sites in Iraq was said to be targeting “secret Israeli bases” according to Iran’s state TV.
Up to 12 missiles hit Erbil, capital of the northern Iraqi Kurdish region, in the early hours of Sunday morning. Iraqi officials said they had been fired from inside Iran.
Several missiles were said to have hit the new US consulate building in the city and caused some damage in early reports. The US has denied any of its buildings were hit in what it condemned as an "outrageous attack".
The Kurdistan 24 TV building was damaged. Images show debris and broken glasses littering its studio and offices.
