Corroborated · Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraq (approximate) ·
Three independent origins report drone attacks on an opposition party headquarters in the Erbil area of Iraqi Kurdistan. One OSINT post names the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) as the target and attributes the attack to Iranian Shahed-136 loitering munitions, and Middle East Spectator reports Iranian Shahed-136 drones striking positions in Iraqi Kurdistan. One @ME_Observer_ roundup places the target in Alane Valley, Kurdistan Region, rather than Erbil. No party has claimed or confirmed the attack, and no casualty figures are given.

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.
