Explosive Drone Strikes Iranian Kurdish Opposition Camp Near Erbil, No Casualties Reported

Erbil- An explosive drone targeted a camp belonging to an Iranian Kurdish opposition group north of Erbil in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region on Saturday, security sources told Reuters, as regional tensions continued to fuel security concerns across the Middle East.

Security sources said no casualties were reported because the camp had been evacuated before the attack. They did not identify the opposition group or provide further details about the extent of any damage.

No party immediately claimed responsibility for the strike, and Iraqi authorities did not issue an immediate official statement on the incident.

The attack comes amid heightened regional instability following a series of military exchanges involving Iran, the United States and their allies, raising concerns that cross-border security incidents could spread further across the region.

Iranian Kurdish opposition groups have long maintained bases in Iraq’s Kurdistan region near the Iranian border, an area that has periodically been targeted during periods of heightened regional tensions.
