PARIS, March 13 (Reuters) – President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday a drone attack in Northern Iraq against French soldiers was “unacceptable” and that France’s position in the region was “defensive”.

Macron told a news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Paris that he had asked for a full military analysis to be made of the attack.

One French soldier was killed and six others were wounded after a drone attack in northern Iraq that President Emmanuel Macron earlier had said was said was unacceptable and unjustified.
