Footage reportedly shows an Iranian "Shahed" loiter munition striking a Kurdish Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) militant base in the mountainous border region of Iraq and Iran. This is reportedly the first Iranian strike against the Kurdish group in five years. There were no casualties reported.

Protests have erupted across Iran after a 22-year-old woman named Mahsa Amini died in the custody of Iranian fundamental Islam enforcement officials. Apparently, too much of her hair was showing. The protests, which are also raging in Kurdish areas, have continued for over a week. Kurds likely see the turmoil as an opportunity to gain more autonomy in their ethnic regions of Iran, and Iran is cracking down hard to quell the idea.
