BAGHDAD — Iraq’s foreign ministry summons the ambassador of its ally Iran to protest over a missile attack earlier today on the northern city of Erbil.

Denouncing a “flagrant violation of (Iraqi) sovereignty,” it summons the ambassador, Iraj Masjidi, to “convey the government’s protests over the missile strikes” that had caused “material losses” and “damage to civilian installations and houses.”
