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

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish forces reportedly conducted artillery strikes against PKK militants in the Selaze area of Al Amadiya district, Duhok province, northern Iraq on 1 April 2025. Casualty figures remain unknown, and the incident appears consistent with ongoing cross-border operations in the Kurdish region.

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 localized Selaze area.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or expansion of Turkish military operations across broader areas of northern Iraq's Kurdish region
• Watch for any PKK retaliation or increased militant activity that could affect regional security conditions
