ERBIL, Iraq: Drone and rocket strikes in Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region on Friday killed three Iranian Kurds, including two women fighters, an exiled opposition group said, blaming the attack on Iran.
During the Middle East war, Iran has repeatedly struck Iranian Kurdish groups in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, which hosts camps and bases belonging to several exiled rebel groups.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran launched a new wave of missile and drone strikes today targeting... civilian camps of the PDKI,” killing one person and wounding his father, the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) said on X.
In a separate attack, two women fighters were killed and other fighters wounded, the party added.
A PDKI official told AFP the fighters were killed in an attack on their positions in the Soran area, nestled in the Zagros mountains near the Iranian border.
