Islamic republic's state media says 12 missiles were fired at "secret Israeli bases" in Erbil, the capital and most populated city in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The alleged strike took place in the early hours of Sunday morning.

According to a report in State-owned Saudi TV channel Al Hadath, the projectiles, fired from Iranian soil, were launched in retribution over the death of two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' officers in an alleged Israeli strike near Damascus last week.

Earlier, Kurdish media reports said there were no casualties in the incident, saying only that operations at the Erbil airport were suspended for several hours, then resumed.

Sepah News, an Iranian website operated by the IRGC, named the officers who were killed in Monday's strike as Col. Ehsan Karbalaipour and Col. Morteza Saidnejad.

It said the two "were martyred – a crime committed by the Zionist regime. Israel, it said, "will pay for this crime."
