Footage reportedly filmed on or around Sept. 9, 2021 in the Choman district of northern Iraq's Erbil governorate shows an Iranian military loiter munition striking a Kurdish KDP position.
The video is some of the clearest footage of a kamikaze drone, possibly an Ababil-2, carrying out an actual combat operation. The KDP, an ethnic Iranian branch of Kurds exiled to northern Iraq, claims to have shot the drone down.
Whether the drone was shot down or completing an attack of its own volition isn't clear from the footage. However, the payload of the aerial device certainly detonates upon impact. Casualties, if any, are not known by us.
