Kurdish officials: Death toll climbs in Iranian drone attack on Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq
An Iranian drone bombing campaign targeting the bases of an Iranian-Kurdish opposition group in northern Iraq on Wednesday killed at least nine people and wounded 32 others, the Kurdish Regional Government's Health Ministry said.
Iran's attacks targeted Koya, some 65 kilometers (35 miles) east of Irbil, said Soran Nuri, a member of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan. The group, known by the acronym KDPI, is a leftist armed opposition force banned in Iran.
Iraq's Foreign Ministry and the Kurdistan Regional Government have condemned the strikes.
Iran's state-run IRNA news agency and broadcaster said the country's Revolutionary Guard targeted bases of a separatist group in the north of Iraq with "precision missiles" and "suicide drones."
The Iranian drone strikes targeted a military camp, homes, offices and other areas around Koya.
Iraq's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the government in Baghdad is expected to summon the Iranian ambassador to deliver a diplomatic complaint over the strikes.

It is in retaliation for its alleged involvement in the protests that began after the death of a young Kurdish woman following her arrest for improperly wearing the veil?
