The Iranian regime has launched a rocket attack on Camp Liberty, the home of the Iranian opposition, killing several people. 

Following the incident, the regime has launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack against the website of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

NCRI, which is a main source for news about the Iranian resistance, believes that the attack was an attempt to stop them from reporting on the air strike.

The organization’s website was unresponsive for more than 3 hours on Sunday, until the NCRI’s IT team managed to restore the service.

The National Council of Resistance highlights the fact that the Iranian regime has relied on DDOS attacks on numerous occasions, including against financial institutions and other organizations from the United States.
