Iraq – PKK launch attacks against a Peshmerga base in Amadiya District

Five military personnel of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) have sustained critical injuries following two attacks that occurred on the 28 and 29 April 2025. Two explosive-laden UAVs were used to target a military base in Balava, Dohuk Governorate and the attack was attributed to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Reports state that the attack was an attempt to prevent the closure of a vital route in the mountainous zone of the Amadiya District. 

The attacks took place nearly two months after Abdullah Ocalan, the PKK’s leader called for the group to disarm on 3 March 2025 and the declaration of a unilateral ceasefire.
