ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – At least three Iranian drones targeted Azadi Camp, previously housing members of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) and their families in Erbil’s Koya, injuring at least one.

“Three drones have attacked the Azadi Camp, one of them landed near their hospital, another landed near the weapon and ammunition depot,” Koya district mayor Tariq Haydari told The New Region, noting that the camp has now been evacuated.

One person was left “slightly injured,” according to the mayor, who noted continued explosions from the weapon and ammunition depot “believed to be the sound of weapons exploding.”

The KDPI in a post on X labeled the attack “a serious humanitarian and legal breach,” saying civilian and medical facilities were targeted in the strike.

A source from the KDPI told The New Region that the camp was previously home to around 1,000 families, adding that the injured individual is a KDPI member.

On Sunday, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a warning to “separatist elements” in the country, saying any mobilization would lead to their “complete destruction.”

Four separate Iranian attacks targeted Kurdish opposition groups in the Region days prior, leaving one injured. The attacks took place in the provinces of Sulaimani and Erbil, with most of the missiles and drones intercepted and destroyed before hitting their targets.

The Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) announced on Saturday that its forces had engaged in clashes with the IRGC in western Iran’s (Rojhelat) Kermanshah province.

The Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) on Monday condemned Iran’s attacks on Rojhelati opposition armed groups based in the Kurdistan Region, calling them a sign of Tehran’s “desperation and weakness” and animosity toward Kurds.

“At a time when the regime's repressive forces across Iran have become targets of Israeli and American strikes, that regime has no rational plan or policy for resolving its crises, and it sacrifices the peoples of Iran to serve its own power-hungry ambitions,” said PJAK.

Five Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups announced a joint coalition on February 22, vowing to topple the Islamic republic, realize the Kurdish people’s right of self-determination, and establish a democratic political system.

The dissident parties, many of whom are based in the Kurdistan Region, have long been military targets for Iran, drawing concerns from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) over the Region’s security.

In 2023, Iraq and Iran signed a security agreement under which Baghdad pledged to disarm and relocate these groups from border areas, following repeated warnings from Tehran.

The attacks came amid a broader regional conflict, after Iran began a retaliatory campaign across the region following large-scale US and Israeli attacks that resulted in the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in addition to several other top Iranian officials.
