ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Two drones targeted a base belonging to the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) in Erbil's Degala sub-district late Wednesday, marking the latest in a series of attacks on Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region despite an ongoing ceasefire between Iran and the United States.
A member of the KDPI told Rudaw late Wednesday, "a short while ago, our party [base] in Degala was attacked by two drones."
"At that time, no Peshmerga were present at the targeted location, which is why the attack resulted in no casualties," the KDPI member said.
The attack comes as Iran has continued to target the headquarters and refugee camps of Iranian Kurdish opposition parties in the Kurdistan Region, even after hostilities with the US and Israel eased.
According to Rudaw tracking, nearly 20 drones have targeted refugee camps and the headquarters of Iranian Kurdish parties across the Kurdistan Region over the past month alone.
The United States and Israel launched a widescale aerial campaign against Iran on February 28, striking thousands of targets across the country during six weeks of hostilities. Tehran responded with thousands of drone and missile attacks across the Middle East targeting alleged US assets.
Iran also intensified operations against Iranian Kurdish armed groups based in the Kurdistan Region, fearing they could exploit the conflict to incite or launch an armed rebellion in Iran's Kurdish border areas.
Attacks have continued intermittently despite a ceasefire and the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Washington and Tehran in mid-June aimed at extending a ceasefire framework first agreed upon in April.
According to Rudaw's records, the Kurdistan Region has been hit by at least 865 drones and missiles since late February, as total numbers continue to rise.
