According to Al Jazeera Arabic, four drones have struck the Erbil province of Iraq's Kurdistan region, causing no casualties. The report did not specify the exact locations or the timing of the strikes.
Separately, security sources told the Reuters news agency that three anti-Iran groups' camps near Erbil were targeted in the same attack. The sources did not provide further details about the groups or the extent of damage.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Iran frequently conducting operations against anti-Iranian groups based in Iraqi Kurdistan. However, no group has claimed responsibility for the drone strikes, and Iraqi authorities have not yet issued an official statement.
According to the Mehr News Agency, which cited the Al Jazeera report, the strikes occurred without causing any casualties. The security sources' information was relayed by Reuters, adding that the camps belonged to groups opposed to Iran.
This development underscores the ongoing volatility in the area, as various actors continue to use drone strikes as a means of targeting adversaries. The lack of casualties and the absence of an immediate claim of responsibility leave the situation open to further investigation.
