01 · THE DISPATCH

A drone originating from Iran exploded last night in the vicinity of a camp belonging to Iranian-Kurdish opposition forces in northern Iraq, according to reports. The cause of the explosion and any casualties or damage are not yet confirmed.

The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple Iranian strikes against Kurdish opposition groups in northern Iraq. On June 10, an Iranian Shahed-136 loitering munition was launched toward these groups, and on June 7, ballistic missiles struck Kurdish opposition bases near Erbil. A further explosion at an opposition headquarters in Erbil was reported on June 16. These attacks reflect a sustained Iranian campaign against opposition elements based in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
