Statement from the President of the Kurdistan Region

April 7, 2026

I strongly denounce the terrorist attack that took place late last night at a citizen's residence in the village of Zargazawi, situated in Erbil, which sadly led to the martyrdom of a married couple.

I extend my sincere condolences to the families of the martyrs. I pray that God bestows mercy upon their souls and grants peace and comfort to their loved ones.

Such acts are intolerable and are completely condemned. The Iraqi Federal Government must uphold its duties and responsibilities to avert the recurrence of these heinous crimes and acts of terrorism, and it is imperative that these assaults on innocent civilians in the Kurdistan Region come to an end.

Nechirvan Barzani
President of the Kurdistan Region
