Peregraf — Suspected Iranian drone strikes targeted a headquarters affiliated with the Komala of the Toilers of Kurdistan in the Bakhtiari neighborhood of Sulaymaniyah early Monday, damaging nearby homes and vehicles but causing no reported casualties, according to party officials.
The attack, which the group said involved two kamikaze drones around 12:30 a.m. Erbil time, struck a facility that had been evacuated in advance. The group said the evacuation was carried out as a precaution to prevent civilian harm.
Despite the reported absence of casualties, the blasts caused material damage to surrounding buildings and multiple civilian vehicles.
Komala blamed the Islamic Republic of Iran for the strike, which it described as "brutal aggression" against civilian areas in the Kurdistan Region. The claim could not be independently verified.
The incident comes as the US-Israel war on Iran — now in its 38th day — continues to affect the broader region, with strikes increasingly hitting neighboring countries, including Iraq. The conflict began on February 28, 2026, and has since expanded into a multi-front confrontation involving missile and drone exchanges across the Middle East.
Recent days have seen heightened tensions, including threats over the Strait of Hormuz, missile exchanges across the region, and strikes on infrastructure in Gulf states, reflecting the expanding scope of the war.
Local authorities had not issued a formal statement on the Sulaymaniyah strike at the time of publication, and independent verification of the full extent of the damage remains limited.
