ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iranian security forces continued their missile and drone attacks on Kurdish opposition groups in the Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq for the second consecutive day despite a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran.
The headquarters of the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan, in Sulaimani’s Zirgwez village came under a renewed Iranian missile attack in the early hours of Wednesday morning, a party official said, without causing any casualties.
The missile attack came one day after several drones hit two other camps of Kurdish opposition groups, wounding two peshmerga fighters and killing another.
The attack occurred just after midnight on Tuesday targeting the leadership department of the Komala party according to Afshin Dadvand, media coordinator for the group. "Fortunately there were no casualties.”
The renewed attacks on Kurdish opposition groups come after the Iran consulate in Erbil released a statement on the day of the ceasefire calling on Baghdad and Erbil to expel these groups for collaborating with the enemies of Iran.
Dadvand added that the headquarters came under "four to five" other attacks since the war
began in late February, when the US and Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Iran, prompting Tehran to retaliate with hundreds of strikes on US facilities and Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in the Kurdistan Region.
Despite the announcement of a fragile two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran, Tehran has recently continued to target the Kurdistan Region with drone and rocket attacks.
On Tuesday evening, a young female member of the Komala Toilers of Kurdistan, another Kurdish opposition group, died from wounds she sustained in a drone attack earlier on Tuesday that targeted the group in Sulaimani province.
