Explosions were reported in the city of Sulaymaniyah in Iraq's Kurdistan region on Tuesday afternoon, according to Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The cause of the blasts and any casualties or damage are not yet known.
The report follows a series of similar explosions across northern Iraq and Iran over the past two weeks. As The Zioneer has previously reported, blasts were heard in Erbil on at least two occasions — on June 11 and June 16 — with some analysts attributing them to Iranian activity. Additional explosions have been reported in southern Iran, including near the Strait of Hormuz, and in Jordan.
The source of Tuesday's blasts has not been identified, and there is no immediate claim of responsibility. Details remain unverified at this stage.
