[Iraq] Explosions/Remote violence: Shelling/artillery/missile attack — 포격/포병/미사일 공격

Summary

Single-source GDELT detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish forces reportedly conducted artillery strikes against PKK militants in the Kendekola area of northern Iraq's Erbil governorate on 31 March 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 military campaign affecting regional infrastructure or trade routes.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent news confirmation and casualty reports that could indicate escalation scope
• Track whether strikes expand to target broader PKK infrastructure that might affect cross-border commerce
• Watch for Iraqi government response that could influence Turkey-Iraq bilateral trade relations
