United Nations (UN): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has strongly condemned Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-assassination Kadhimi's attempt, which was foiled. According to reports, the UN chief issued a statement through his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, in which he called for the perpetrators of this crime to be held accountable and urged Iraqis to exercise extreme restraint and reject violence and attempts to destabilise the country. According to the statement, the Secretary-General "urges all political actors to uphold constitutional order and resolve differences through peaceful and inclusive dialogue."

An explosive-laden drone struck Al-residence Kadhimi's in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone early Sunday morning, but he escaped the assassination attempt. According to reports, the exploding drone caused damage to the Prime Minister's residence and injured several of his security guards.

Kadhimi said in a recent statement that he has identified the perpetrators "Those who committed the crime will be pursued. We are familiar with them and will reveal their identities". The perpetrators are the same people who killed Nibras Farman, an Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) officer, and the Prime Minister said late Sunday that they will be brought to justice.
