Iran carries out drone strikes against bases of an Iranian Kurdish opposition group in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, according to multiple reports. Mehr news agency reports that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards target the Komala group’s headquarters in the Balisan region with drones. Another report, attributed to Reuters, describes an explosive-laden drone attack on a Kurdish opposition camp northeast of Erbil.
The strikes are framed as part of a wider pattern of actions against Iranian Kurdish militants since a regional conflict begins in February, with Iraq’s Kurdistan region hosting camps and bases for multiple groups. Iran accuses the Kurdish opposition of receiving support from Israel, while the Kurdish opposition denies these allegations and rejects Iran’s claims.
Outlets differ in how they describe the targets and scope. Some focus specifically on Komala’s headquarters, while others also reference other drone attacks on nearby camps. Where details are included, they are largely limited to location and attribution to Mehr or Reuters, with varying emphasis on damage and casualties versus broader context.
