Drones hit Iranian Kurdish opposition group camp in Sulaymaniyah’s Surdash

SULAYMANIYAH — Three drones struck an Iranian Kurdish refugee camp in Surdash, in Sulaymaniyah governorate, in the early hours of Monday, with no casualties, the Kurdistan Region Security Agency said.

The strikes came between 4:45 and 5:05 a.m., the agency said, giving no further detail on damage and not saying who carried them out. The Komala Party said Iran attacked its headquarters and camps in Surdash with three drones, setting several houses and facilities alight, and that its forces had been on alert and taken protective measures which kept anyone from being hurt.

Komala said more than 108 missiles and drones have been used against its headquarters and camps since the U.S.-Israel and Iran war began, describing Monday’s strikes as part of a continuing Iranian campaign against the bases of Iranian Kurdish parties in the Region.

The Kurdistan Region has been hit repeatedly this year at security and energy sites, diplomatic facilities, civilian areas and camps of Iranian Kurdish opposition groups. Coalition forces shot down 10 bomb-laden drones over Erbil on Sept. 2, and two explosive drones struck the private office of Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and the home of the head of the Parastin intelligence agency in mid-August, with Barzani blaming Iran. Community Peacemaker Teams–Iraqi Kurdistan documented 751 attacks across the Region between late February and late May before the June ceasefire, attributing them to Iran and Iran-backed Iraqi groups, with 22 people killed and 112 wounded.
