⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the strike on the residence of Nechirvan Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (March 30, 2026)

�� Moscow is seriously concerned over the continuing armed confrontation in the Persian Gulf area, as well as the growing number of attacks on administrative and civilian infrastructure.

According to incoming information, on March 28, the residence of Nechirvan Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, in Dohuk came under attack by an unidentified suicide drone.

❗️ We strongly condemn this act, whose organisers clearly sought to further expand the geographical scope of the unprecedented military and political crisis in terms of both scale and destructiveness, triggered by the unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against Iran.

Russia firmly advocates an immediate cessation of hostilities and a return to a political and diplomatic settlement.

We consistently call on all parties to the conflict to refrain from any attacks on non-military targets.
