Opposition group says Iran strikes kill three Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq
Drone and rocket strikes in Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region have killed three Iranian Kurds, including two women fighters, an exiled opposition group says, blaming the attack on Iran.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran launched a new wave of missile and drone strikes today targeting… civilian camps of the PDKI,” killing one person and wounding another, the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan says on X.
In a separate attack, two women fighters were killed and other fighters wounded, the party adds.
