Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered, on Tuesday, the formation of a committee to investigate the circumstances of the attack on Iraqi bases. The official spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Sabah al-Numan, said in a statement, “In a treacherous and cowardly attack, at exactly 2:15 a.m. and until 3:45 a.m., on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, a group of small suicide drones targeted a number of Iraqi military sites and bases. This targeting led to significant damage to the radar systems at the Taji camp north of Baghdad and the Imam Ali base in Dhi Qar Governorate, without any human casualties.”
He added, “Iraqi forces were able to confront and thwart all other attempts to attack four sites in different locations, and to deal with and shoot down the drones, which had been aiming to target these sites.” He explained that “all the targeted sites are military sites fully affiliated with the Iraqi security forces, and are managed and supervised by officers and personnel from our heroic security forces.”
He also stated, “Following this blatant attack, Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, ordered the formation of a high-level technical and intelligence committee, including representatives from all relevant security agencies, to investigate the circumstances of this attack, identify the perpetrators, and fully follow up on the results of the investigation.” He explained that “these treacherous criminal acts will not go unpunished.”
He also stressed that “our armed forces will remain Iraq’s impregnable shield in defending our people, our territory, and our sovereignty.”
