Iraqi forces initiated a search operation in the Hatra desert this evening, July 19th, targeting individuals responsible for recent drone attacks on energy infrastructure within the Kurdistan Region. This action follows significant pressure from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to apprehend the culprits. According to a report from The New Region published today, July 19th, Iraqi forces have begun actively scouring the desert area. The KRG has consistently urged Baghdad to bring those responsible for the assaults to justice, emphasizing the need for accountability for attacks impacting critical energy facilities. This development marks a direct response by Iraqi authorities to the ongoing security concerns stemming from the drone attacks. The Hatra desert, located in northern Iraq, is a vast and challenging terrain, presenting a complex environment for search operations.
