Iran's Revolutionary Guards attacked an area north of the Iraqi Kurdish capital of Erbil on Wednesday, Iranian state TV reported, describing it as a move to shell “terrorist bases”.
Iraqi Kurdish media reported that an artillery shell had landed in a village in the Sidekan area near the Iranian border, around 60 miles (100 km) northeast of Erbil.
The Iranian state TV claimed no casualties had been reported, while the country’sTasnim news agency said the Guards have previously targeted Iranian Kurdish militants located in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
In March, Iran carried out an attack against what Iranian state media described as "Israeli strategic centres" in Erbil, suggesting it was revenge for Israeli air strikes that killed Iranian military personnel in Syria.
The Iraqi Kurdish regional government condemned the attack in March and said it only targeted civilian residential areas, not sites belonging to foreign countries, and called on the international community to carry out an investigation.
