Iraqi troops loyal to the Kurdish Democratic Party patrolled Irbil with Kalashnikov rifles as shops remained closed and residents stayed indoors amid ongoing post battle tension. The city shows shell damage and political shift after a Kurdish faction ousted the PUK, baring fragile governance and disrupted power. UN reps mediate power restoration as residents adapt with water carts.
