Explosions hit Sulaymaniyah province in northern Iraq

Powerful explosions were reported in the Raniya district of Sulaymaniyah province in northern Iraq on Tuesday, according to Al-Mayadeen. The blasts were heard by local residents, but as of now, neither security forces nor official Iraqi apparatuses have issued any statements regarding the cause or origin of the explosions. However, Iraqi media reported that the explosions were the result of a drone and missile attack targeting the headquarters of anti-Iranian adversary Kurdish groups in Sulaymaniyah. The groups, including Komala, are known to operate in the region and have been involved in cross-border activities against Iran. The attack comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Kurdish separatist groups based in Iraqi Kurdistan. No casualties have been reported so far. According to Mehr News, the report by Al-Mayadeen added that the situation remains unclear, and further details are awaited.
