Three drones struck the Jejnikan camp north of Erbil on Friday, targeting a site that houses civilian family members of Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) fighters, a party official told Shafaq News.
One drone was intercepted and shot down. The other two crashed near the camp without causing casualties, according to Karim Barouzi.
In a statement, the PDKI attributed the attack to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which it accused of conducting a sustained campaign of suicide drone and ballistic missile strikes against party camps in the Kurdistan Region since the outbreak of war between the United States, Israel, and Iran on February 28, 2026. The party said Iranian strikes have now hit KDPI family camps and the party’s medical and educational installations on close to 130 separate occasions.
