Iran has attacked an Iranian-Kurdish opposition group in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, killing 13 people and injuring several others, officials said.

The missile and drone attacks on Wednesday focused on bases in Koya, some 60km (35 miles) east of Erbil, said Soran Nuri – a member of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan. The group, known by the acronym KDPI, is a left-wing armed opposition force that is banned in Iran.
