A drone strike killed one suspected member of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and injured another on Saturday in a border village near Penjwen district in Iraq’s Sulaymaniyah province, according to local officials and security sources.

Penjwen Mayor Hemin Ibrahim confirmed that the attack occurred around 11:30 AM in the village of Shiwaguezan, located in the Garmk sub-district.

“The two individuals were on a motorcycle when they were targeted. One was killed, and the other was wounded,” Ibrahim said.

No group or country has claimed responsibility for the strike, which marks the first such attack in the region in months.

The Penjwen area, close to the Iraq-Iran border, has frequently been the site of drone strikes and airstrikes targeting suspected PKK members.

The attack comes weeks after the PKK, an outlawed group engaged in a four-decade conflict with the Turkish state, held a ceremony to mark the symbolic start of a disarmament process.

Around 30 PKK fighters, both men and women, placed their weapons in a cauldron in what the group described as the first step toward laying down arms—a process expected to continue throughout the summer.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called the ceremony an "important step toward our goal of a terror-free Turkey."

Turkey has conducted numerous airstrikes and drone operations against PKK targets in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region, particularly in the border provinces of Duhok and Sulaymaniyah.
