Kokcha News Agency: Scenes of conflict have emerged from Erbil, a region under the control of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq, where clashes between the Herki tribe and Peshmerga forces loyal to Barzani continue to escalate. The Herki tribe has reportedly captured the Khabat area of Erbil and is rapidly advancing toward the city center, raising concerns about further violence and instability in the region.
The clashes are part of an ongoing power struggle between the Herki tribe and the Peshmerga forces, which are aligned with the Barzani-led KRG. The Herki tribe’s advance into Khabat and their push toward central Erbil have heightened tensions in the region, with fears of a broader conflict breaking out.
Local sources report that the situation remains volatile, with both sides exchanging heavy gunfire and artillery. Civilians in the area are reportedly caught in the crossfire, leading to concerns about civilian casualties and displacement.
The KRG has yet to issue an official statement on the clashes, but the escalation highlights the fragile security situation in the region and the challenges faced by the Kurdish authorities in maintaining control.
