Drone targets Azadi Camp in Erbil

Shafaq News- Erbil

A drone targeted the Azadi Camp in the town of Koya, east of Erbil in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, a local source told Shafaq News on Friday.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and authorities have not released immediate information on casualties or damage.

Earlier this month, another drone strike targeted the Azadi camp, which hosts Iranian Kurdish refugees.

Cities across the Kurdistan Region have faced repeated rocket and drone attacks since the start of the US–Israeli war on Iran on Feb. 28, with strikes hitting the Harir military base, Erbil International Airport, and headquarters of Iranian Kurdish opposition groups based in northern Iraq. The Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT), a US-based monitoring organization, reported more than 190 missile and drone attacks on the Region during that period.
