Erbil, Iraq, March 3, 2026 (AFP) — Drone stikes blamed on Iran hit on Tuesday a camp hosting Iranian Kurdish fighters and family members in northern Iraq, a local official and an exiled opposition group said.

A local official in the Koysinjaq district, Tareq al-Haidari, told AFP "three Iranian drones targeted the Azadi camp, which belongs to Iranian Kurdish opposition parties in the district."

One drone directly hit the camp's hospital, wounding one person, said Haidari and a commander from the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI).
