Drone attack in Iraq, 8 Iranian Kurdish opposition members wounded

At least eight members of the exiled Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) were wounded in a drone attack on the group's camp in northwest Iraq, an official said, in the latest strike targeting Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in the region. PAK member Adib Khaldian told that Iranian forces carried out the attack at around 2am local time on a camp in the Darashakran area of Erbil.

The attack came two days after drone and rocket strikes blamed on Iran killed nine members of the Komala Party, another Iranian-Kurdish opposition group.

The attacks come amid heightened regional tensions following the launch of US and Israeli strikes against Iran in February. News reports had earlier suggested that US President Donald Trump was in discussions with Iranian and Iraqi Kurdish groups, with Washington reportedly hoping they could help fuel a popular uprising against Tehran.
