Corroborated · Erbil, Iraq · 2026-10-24

Several outlets and accounts report drone attacks on Iranian Kurdish opposition bases near Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan, on the night of 24 October 2026. Reuters, citing security sources, says an explosive-laden drone attacked a camp northeast of Erbil, and Tasnim News says drones struck bases of groups it calls anti-Iranian terrorists in Erbil. An anonymous X account says a drone hit the Komalah Party headquarters in the Alana Valley, while OSINTWarfare says an Iranian Shahed-136 struck a target there that may have belonged to a Kurdish separatist group.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
