ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – Harir in Erbil province was subjected to drone strikes on Monday night, which were intercepted by the US-led international coalition, resulting in no casualties. The strikes mark the third such attack on the province on Monday.

Late on Monday, two loud booms were reported in Harir, located northwest of Erbil, which The New Region's reporter on the ground said were caused by drones intercepted by the global coalition.

The development follows four drone strikes in Erbil on Monday, according to Kurdish security forces (Asayish), which added that no casualties were reported as a result.

The earliest strike occurred at 12:20 AM, when two drones were shot down near the headquarters of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan’s (PUK) forces, the Asayish said.

Two other drones struck a refugee camp in Koya between 2:20PM and 2:30AM.

The camp belonged to the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), an Iranian Kurdish opposition group. In a statement, the party blamed Iran for the attack and reported material damage.

“This latest act of aggression reflects Tehran’s continued policy of targeting Kurdish opposition organizations instead of addressing the democratic demands of the people of Iran,” the KDPI asserted.

Since the US-Israel war with Iran began in late February, the Kurdistan Region has come under hundreds of drone and missile attacks, which are ongoing despite a ceasefire between the warring parties.

In April, Erbil Governor Omed Khoshnaw said that the province was hit by over 500 missiles and drones since the onset of the Iran war.

The strikes have predominantly targeted Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in the Kurdistan Region since the ceasefire, with other infrastructure and facilities remaining largely untouched.

The strikes carried out against the opposition groups in the Kurdistan Region have killed 10 people and wounded several others since late February.

The latest attacks come amid renewed hostilities between Israel and Iran after the Iranian military launched a series of missiles at Israeli territory in response to ongoing Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon.

The strikes sparked a round of confrontation between the two sides before coming to a halt on Monday, after Israel heeded a call from US President Donald Trump to stop attacks and continue pursuing a potential peace agreement.
