An explosive-laden drone targeted the residence of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in Baghdad early on Sunday in what the Iraqi military called an attempted assassination. The prime minister is reported to have escaped unhurt.
Several members of Kadhimi's personal protection have also been injured, according to news reports.
