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

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish forces reportedly conducted artillery strikes against PKK positions in the Derese area of Al Amadiya district, Duhok province, northern Iraq around April 7, 2025. Casualty figures remain unknown, and the incident lacks corroborating news coverage.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed and escalated, second-order effects could include temporary disruptions to cross-border trade flows between Turkey and Iraq's Kurdistan Region, though the remote mountainous location of Al Amadiya suggests minimal immediate commercial impact.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation from Kurdish or Turkish media outlets, as cross-border military operations typically receive broader coverage
• Track any Turkish government statements regarding expanded counter-PKK operations that could affect broader Kurdistan Region stability
