Iran has attacked an Iranian-Kurdish opposition group in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, killing nine people and injuring several others.
The update was disclosed by Kurdistan Regional Government’s health minister, Saman Barazanchi.
Kurdish officials said the missile and drone attacks on Wednesday focused on bases in Koya, some 60km (35 miles) east of Erbil.
IRNA news agency also said Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) ground forces targeted some bases of a separatist group in the north of Iraq with “precision missiles” and a “suicide drone”.
The IRGC said in a statement; “This operation will continue with our full determination until the threat is effectively repelled, terrorist groups’ bases are dismantled, and the authorities of the Kurdish region assume their obligations and responsibilities.”
Iranian authorities have accused Iranian-Kurdish separatists based in northern Iraq of involvement in protests in Iran that have led to the deaths of dozens of people.
