ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Two people were injured in a suspected drone attack in a village in Sulaimani province on Monday, witnesses and local officials told Rudaw. 

The incident took place at 5:00pm in Saydani village in Chamchamal district, western Sulaimani province. A 24-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man were injured. 

“The injury to the man is serious,” Sharif Rahim, spokesperson for Chamchamal health directorate, told Rudaw. 

Witnesses said the attack was carried out by a drone. 

“Only Turkey bombs here, therefore we are sure it was done by Turkey,” Shawkat Sharif, chieftain of the village, told Rudaw.

Both Turkey and Iran carry out frequent operations in the Kurdistan Region, often using drones, to target Kurdish opposition groups.
