ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - A double Iranian drone attack targeted a “residential site” for families of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI), north of Erbil late Wednesday, with no casualties reported. The group further noted that Tehran has launched more than 126 drone and missile strikes against its civilian facilities since the outbreak of the Iran conflict in late February.
“On Wednesday night, May 13, 2026, at 9:30 pm [local time], the Islamic Republic targeted a camp belonging to the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI) near Erbil with two drones,” the dissident group said in a statement, adding that “the camp houses families affiliated with the Democratic Party and has been targeted several times by the Islamic Republic since the start of the 40-day war” in late February.
The KDPI, which is the largest Iranian Kurdish dissident group, added that “since the outbreak of the war with the United States and Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran has launched more than 126 missile and drone strikes on camps housing families of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, as well as on the party’s medical and educational facilities.”
The US and Israel launched a large-scale aerial campaign against Iran in late February, striking thousands of targets over six weeks of hostilities. In response, Iran carried out thousands of drone and missile strikes across the Middle East, targeting alleged US assets and launching retaliatory attacks against Israel.
The Iranian response also involved Iraqi armed groups aligned with the Tehran-led ‘Axis of Resistance,’ with several factions claiming responsibility for attacks on purported US targets in the region, including in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
