March 10 (Reuters) - UAE's foreign ministry condemned a drone attack on its consulate in Iraqi Kurdistan's Erbil, it said in a statement early on Tuesday.

Iraqi Kurdistan's counter-terrorism service said late on Monday that it had downed three drones in Erbil, with debris from one of the drones falling near the UAE consulate. It said no casualties were reported.
