IRGC pounds bases of anti-Iran terrorist groups in Iraqi Kurdistan
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) carried out a wave of missile and drone strikes against the main bastions and headquarters of the anti-Iran terrorist groups in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of northern Iraq.
The IRGC Public Relations Department said in a statement that three projectiles launched by its missile units successfully pounded the designated targets on Wednesday morning.
The statement noted that the strikes destroyed the bases of Komala and other anti-Iran Kurdish militant groups. It, however, did not provide details on any casualties from the attacks.
Khalil Sanani, spokesman for the anti-Iran Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) said the Iranian missile strike on its combatants had killed a member of the organization.
Sanani said at 11:22 a.m. local time (0822 GMT), Iran launched three projectiles at a PAK camp, which is in an area close to Erbil - the capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region. "One guard was killed and another three wounded," he added.
Three Iranian drones also hit a camp hosting anti-Iran Kurdish terrorists.
Tareq al-Haidari, a local official in the Koysinjaq district, said the unmanned aerial vehicles targeted the Azadi camp belonging to the so-called Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI).
PDKI commander Mohammed Nazif Kader said "drones and missiles" attacked the camp.Anti-Iran Kurdish terrorist groups serving Western and Israeli interests have been designated as terrorist organizations by Iran.
For years, these groups have attacked Iranian security forces in Kurdish-majority areas along the western and north-western parts of Iran.
Last week, five Kurdish separatist groups, including the PDKI, announced a political coalition to challenge the Islamic establishment in Iran and seek secession of Kurdish areas from the rest of the country.
