[Iraq] Explosions/Remote violence: Air/drone strike

Summary

Single-source GDELT detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish military forces reportedly conducted airstrikes and shelling against PKK targets in the Gire Zengil area of Al Amadiya district, Duhok governorate, Iraq on March 31, 2025. Casualties remain unknown, and the incident lacks corroboration from major news outlets.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether it represents part of a broader cross-border military campaign that could affect northern Iraq's economic infrastructure.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation from Turkish or Iraqi official sources, as well as major international news outlets covering the alleged strikes
• Track any escalation in Turkish-PKK hostilities that could expand geographically and potentially impact northern Iraq's oil infrastructure or trade routes
• Watch for Iraqi government response or diplomatic protests that could signal broader regional tensions
