Peshmerga Ministry: The Blood of Our Martyrs Will Not Be in Vain
ARK News.. The Ministry of Peshmerga Affairs issued, on April 7, 2026, a strongly worded statement condemning a series of “sabotage” attacks that targeted its headquarters and residential areas using explosive-laden drones, resulting in civilian and military casualties.
The ministry said that last night, April 6, witnessed a double attack, as two explosive drones launched by what it described as “outlaw terrorist groups” targeted a Peshmerga forces headquarters within the boundaries of the Raparin administration.
It added that three explosive drones were launched from inside Iran toward the borders of Erbil province, directly targeting the house of a Peshmerga member named Musa Anwar. The attack led to the martyrdom of the serviceman and his wife inside their home.
The ministry stressed that these attacks come as part of an ongoing series targeting the stability of the Kurdistan Region and its military facilities, emphasizing: “The blood of our martyrs will not be in vain.”
The statement officially held the Islamic Republic of Iran and outlaw armed groups in Iraq responsible for these bombardment operations.
The ministry also directed an urgent call to the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, demanding the assumption of legal, security, and constitutional responsibilities to protect the country’s sovereignty and put a final end to these attacks that violate the security of the region and its citizens.
The statement concluded by offering its deep condolences to the families of the two martyrs, affirming the steadfastness of the Peshmerga forces in carrying out their national duties despite these serious security challenges.
