Iranian jets and drones have carried out attacks on members of an Iranian Kurdish separatist party based in northern Iraq, the group said on Thursday, MEE reported.
An official from the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), a group seeking autonomy for Kurds in Iran, said there were no casualties from the strikes, which targeted the Sidakan and Choman areas of Erbil province on Thursday morning.
“We have recovered the remains of a drone that was used in the attack on one target and we have photos,” Kawa Bahrami, a KDPI military commander, told Rudaw, a media network based in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Bahrami said that “six Iranian drones” had attacked the KDPI’s peshmerga, a term that refers to the armed wing of Kurdish groups.
Choman mayor Swara Akram also confirmed the attack to Rudaw, adding that there had been no casualities in the area, which is managed by the autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
