EPIC monitor links drone concerns to Iraq’s weapons-control agenda

The 1 October monitor places recent security reports alongside the government’s arms-control timetable.

EPIC's weekly monitor places drone-related security concerns within the transition from the coalition mission and Baghdad's weapons-control agenda. It reports a government timetable extending to June 2027 and differing armed-group responses, including an exception for attacks on aircraft in one group's stated suspension. Its security section also covers the September Koya strike. This is a source-linked synthesis, not an independent incident investigation.
