Following the attack, Komala said that three of its peshmerga were wounded in the drone strike, adding that one of the injured is in critical condition.

The incident comes amid continued security concerns in the Kurdistan Region following a two-week ceasefire announced on April 8, marking the 40th day of the war.
Earlier, on April 10, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministry of Interior said a series of drone attacks had targeted multiple locations across the region late on April 9. The ministry stated that all drones were intercepted and destroyed, with no casualties or material damage reported.
In its statement, the ministry warned that "terrorists and outlaws" continue to undermine stability despite the ceasefire.
According to data compiled by Peregraf Media, more than 650 drones and missiles have targeted sites across the Kurdistan Region since the outbreak of hostilities. The attacks have been attributed either to Iranian forces or to armed groups operating under the banner of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
Peregraf records show that at least 16 people, including Peshmerga personnel and security officers, have been killed in these attacks, with some among the victims belonging to Iranian Kurdish opposition armed groups, while around 70 others have been wounded.
The ministry said expectations for stability following the ceasefire have not been met.
"The Kurdistan Region and its citizens were expecting the normalization of the situation, but unfortunately, terrorists and outlaws… continue to sow chaos," the statement said.
Reaffirming its position, the ministry stressed support for peace and stability and called on all parties to halt attacks that threaten the security of the Kurdistan Region and its citizens.
