ERBIL (Kurdistan24) — The governments of Germany and the United Kingdom have expressed their condolences to the Kurdistan Region’s Ministry of Peshmerga following the killing of six Peshmergas in recent missile attacks.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Ministry of Peshmerga confirmed that both countries sent separate letters of condolence, conveying their deep sorrow over the loss of the fighters.
Germany and the United Kingdom paid tribute to the sacrifices of the Peshmerga forces, reaffirming their solidarity with the people of Kurdistan and the Ministry of Peshmerga, and extending their sympathies to the families of the fallen.
