Two Iranian Shahed-136 one-way attack drones struck a warehouse belonging to Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups near Qushtapa, south of Erbil, according to a security monitoring channel. A fire started in a field beside the building; no casualties have been reported yet.
The strike, reported at 17:33 Jerusalem time, is the latest in a sustained series of Iranian attacks on Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq over recent days.
The targeted warehouse, located near Qushtapa south of Erbil, belongs to groups opposed to the Iranian regime. A Shahed-136 is a one-way attack drone known as a 'loitering munition' — it flies toward a pre-set coordinate and detonates on impact.
As The Zioneer previously reported on June 7–10, Iranian forces have struck Kurdish opposition targets in the Erbil area multiple times in the past week using ballistic missiles and Shahed-136 drones, hitting camps, positions, and now a warehouse. No group has claimed responsibility for this specific strike, and casualty figures are not yet available.
