Clashes Erupt in Iraqi Kurdistan

Clashes have erupted in Iraqi Kurdistan during the night, according to Telegram channels covering Middle Eastern topics.

One theory suggests that influential representatives of the Harqi tribe have rebelled against the Barzani government, which has close ties with Ankara. Another theory links the events to intertribal disputes.

It has been reported that major roads have been closed, particularly the important highway connecting Koysinjaq and Erbil, to prevent the movement of supporting forces.

Reports indicate that fighting has taken place near the Khor Mor gas field.
