Spain has temporarily relocated its special forces unit in Iraq to secure locations due to deteriorating security conditions that prevent safe operations against ISIS. This decision follows a fatal drone attack on French military personnel near Erbil, which also prompted Italy's recent evacuation of troops from the same region; Spanish officials confirmed all 300 deployed soldiers remain unharmed despite moving them away from active training missions in Baghdad and Kurdish-controlled areas.
