TL;DR

Kurdish outlet Rudaw has published footage showing damage from an Iranian drone strike that hit south of Erbil earlier today, according to a single report. The strike continues a pattern of Iranian attacks targeting Iranian-Kurdish opposition positions in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

01 · THE DISPATCH

New footage posted by Rudaw, a prominent Kurdish media outlet, shows the aftermath of an Iranian drone strike south of Erbil earlier today. The report, based on a single unverified source, does not specify the target or casualties, and the footage's precise location and timing have not been independently confirmed. The strike follows a series of Iranian attacks in recent days targeting bases, camps, and warehouses of Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. As The Zioneer reported on June 7 and June 8–9, Iranian forces have used Shahed-136 drones and missiles against positions near Erbil and Qushtapa, striking KDPI and PAK-linked facilities. No claim of responsibility or additional details have been released so far regarding today's strike.
