The Kurdistan Freedom Party, an Iranian Kurdish group, claimed that Iran’s regime carried out a ballistic missile and drone attack on its forces overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday.

According to a source, the attack took place in Iraq, where the PAK has fighters. The PAK said that members of its armed unit the Kurdistan National Army (SMK) were targeted. PAK is one of several important Kurdish groups that operate in Iran and oppose the regime. It has been publicly very active in backing the protests in Iran.

Video and photos from the site of the attack show the destruction of vehicles and other debris from the incident. It was not clear from the videos whether the attack was by a missile, drones, or both. Iran has attacked Kurdish dissident groups in Iraq in the past using ballistic missiles and drones.
