A drone strike conducted by Turkey resulted in the death of one member of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and injuries to two others in northern Iraq on Monday, according to the counter-terrorism service of Iraqi Kurdistan.

The statement indicated that the Turkish operation targeted a gathering of PKK members at the Makhmour camp, resulting in one fatality and two injuries, one of whom was a senior official within the PKK.

Turkey frequently executes airstrikes against PKK militants in northern Iraq and maintains numerous outposts within Iraqi territory.

The PKK initiated an insurgency against the Turkish government in 1984, originally aiming for an independent Kurdish state, but later shifted its focus towards advocating for enhanced Kurdish rights and limited autonomy in southeastern Turkey.
