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

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish military forces reportedly conducted airstrikes and shelling against PKK militants in the Gare region of northern Iraq's Duhok province on March 29, 2025. Casualties remain unknown, and the medium severity classification suggests localized military activity rather than major escalation.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether cross-border military operations intensify in the broader Kurdistan region.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation from Turkish or Iraqi sources, as current reporting relies on single-source data
• Track potential escalation patterns if Turkey expands operations beyond the immediate Gare area, which could affect broader regional stability
