Iraq — 폭발/원거리 폭력: 항공/드론 공격

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Turkish forces reportedly conducted airstrikes and shelling against PKK militants in the Gare region of northern Iraq's Duhok province on April 5, 2025. The operation targeted the Merane area, with casualty figures unknown at this time.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The Gare region, while strategically located in the Kurdish autonomous area near the Turkish border, does not appear to intersect with major mapped supply chain infrastructure based on available data.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or sustained Turkish military operations that could affect broader cross-border trade flows between Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan
• Track PKK response or retaliatory actions that might disrupt regional stability in northern Iraq's border areas
