[Iraq] Explosions/Remote violence: Shelling/artillery/missile attack

Summary

Single-source GDELT detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish forces reportedly conducted artillery strikes against PKK militants in the Selaze area of Duhok province in northern Iraq on 31 March 2025, with casualties unknown. This represents another episode in Turkey's ongoing cross-border operations against Kurdish groups in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether operations expand beyond the immediate target area in northern Iraq's mountainous border region.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or expansion of Turkish military operations beyond the immediate strike zone
• Track any Iraqi government or Kurdistan Regional Government responses that could affect broader regional stability
