Air defense systems intercepted two ballistic missiles fired at a base belonging to the Iranian Kurdish opposition group Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) on the outskirts of Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, a security source told Shafaq News on Tuesday.

The attack occurred at 8:30 p.m. Baghdad time, targeting the group’s Chamshar headquarters near the Darashakran area east of Erbil. Both were destroyed in flight, preventing casualties or material damage.

About 30 minutes later, PAK announced that the headquarters had come under two additional missile attacks, which it said were also intercepted and destroyed by air defenses.
