An Indian-origin soldier has died following an attack by Iranian-backed forces in northern Iraq. The incident happened early Wednesday morning, July 23, 2026, during a cross-border raid in the region.
The soldier was part of a multinational peacekeeping team working to keep the area safe and stable. Reports suggest that the attack was carried out using a mix of rocket fire and drone strikes on military bases.
The identity of the soldier has not been made public yet, as officials are waiting to inform the family. This attack comes at a time when tensions are already very high in the Middle East.
India has strongly condemned the attack and asked for a full investigation into the matter. The Iraqi government has also complained to the United Nations, calling the raid a serious violation of its borders.
