Drone Strike Kills Woman in Iraqi Kurdistan Targeting Iranian Exile Group
A drone strike on April 14, 2026, targeted the Komala party, an exiled Iranian Kurdish group, in Iraq's northern Kurdistan region, resulting in the death of one woman. This incident marks the first recorded attack against Iranian Kurdish groups in the region since a fragile regional ceasefire took effect. Komala leadership blamed Iran and its affiliated militias for the strike. The attack occurs amid broader regional instability following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure last month.
