Three drones targeted the headquarters of two Iranian Kurdish separatist parties in the Baharka and Khalifan areas of northern Erbil late Monday into Tuesday, with no casualties reported.
Karim Parwezi, a member of the Iranian Kurdistan Democratic Party, told Shafaq News that a drone targeted the party's Jiznikan camp in Baharka. Preliminary information indicated that the attack caused no casualties or material damage.
In a separate attack, Amjad Hussein, a member of the political bureau of the Iranian Kurdistan Workers' Party, Komala, said two drones targeted one of the party's camps in Khalifan, north of Erbil, causing material damage but no injuries.
Several explosions were also heard in Erbil after midnight.
Attacks continue against Iranian Kurdish groups
The attacks come amid an escalation that has continued since July against the headquarters and camps of Iranian Kurdish separatist parties in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah governorates.
On July 17, drone and missile attacks killed nine members of the Iranian Kurdistan Komala Party at a camp near Sulaymaniyah, marking the highest death toll recorded in the latest wave of attacks.
According to the Kurdistan Regional Government authorities, the region has come under around 20 missile and drone attacks since July 17, targeting US sites and headquarters belonging to Iranian Kurdish separatist groups.
