PKK Claims Responsibility for Series of Attacks on Peshmerga Forces in Duhok Province
According to the PKK’s statement, the group carried out attacks on a Peshmerga base on both Monday and Tuesday, as well as a separate assault later in the week.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) on Thursday claimed responsibility for a recent series of attacks targeting Peshmerga forces in the Kurdistan Region’s Duhok province, which have left five members wounded.
According to the PKK’s statement, the group carried out attacks on a Peshmerga base on both Monday and Tuesday, as well as a separate assault later in the week. The group justified the actions by opposing the establishment of a new Peshmerga base near the border of Amedi district, which they claimed would impede the movement of PKK fighters operating in the area.
On Tuesday, the Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC) confirmed that a "terrorist group" had launched two drone attacks on Peshmerga positions in Duhok province, injuring five personnel. The KRSC did not name the PKK directly but emphasized the threat such attacks pose to regional stability.
