Al-Sulaymaniyah: No drone strike at Khor Mor
A controlled explosion near the Khor Mor gas field on Sunday briefly sparked confusion, as local authorities dismissed initial reports of a drone strike.
Sadiq Mohammed, director of the Qader Karam subdistrict in Chamchamal, al-Sulaymaniyah province, told Shafaq News the 10:20 a.m. blast was part of a scheduled demining operation, coordinated in advance with the local administration and Asayish security forces.
Early speculation pointed to a drone crash, fueling concern given Khor Mor's strategic role as a major gas production hub operated by UAE-based Dana Gas.

Humanitarian corridor in Suwayda: 73 civilians evacuated
Shafaq News – Suwayda On Sunday, the Syrian Civil Defense evacuated 73 civilians from Suwayda province, most of them women and children, as part of ongoing efforts to relocate vulnerable residents from areas hit by recent clashes. Relief teams, working in coordination with humanitarian organizations, have been distributing essential supplies at temporary shelter centers established for displaced families. At the same time, the Internal Security Commander in Suwayda confirmed that detained Bedouin families are expected to be released within hours. Preparations are underway to ensure their safe return home. He underscored that all parties remain committed to the recently brokered ceasefire. The truce came after several days of deadly confrontations between local armed factions and Bedouin tribal fighters in and around the city. Earlier, Syrian Interior Ministry spokesperson Nour al-Din al-Baba announced that all tribal fighters had been cleared from Suwayda and that combat inside urban areas had ended. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), more than 1,000 people have been killed since the fighting erupted. The toll includes 336 Druze fighters and 298 Druze civilians. On the opposing side, 342 personnel from the Ministry of Defense and the General Security Directorate were killed, along with 21 members of Bedouin tribes.

Calls to reinstate indelible ink ahead of Iraq's parliamentary elections
Shafaq News - Kirkuk On Sunday, the Arab Council in Kirkuk urged Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) to reverse its decision to eliminate the use of indelible ink in the November 11 parliamentary elections, warning the move could undermine public trust in the process. In a statement, the council described the ink's use as 'vital to maintaining transparency and trust,' particularly in Kirkuk, a province historically marked by disputes over electoral integrity. In addition to its objection to the ink removal, the council called on IHEC to enforce recent rulings by the Federal Supreme Court that require a comprehensive audit of the voter registry, questioning the commission's delay in applying these decisions. The council also pointed to what it described as the 'ongoing registration of large numbers of Kurdish voters in Kirkuk,' warning that the trend could shift the province's demographic makeup and risk further destabilizing its already fragile social fabric. Earlier, IHEC confirmed that indelible ink would no longer be used in the voting process, citing the advanced security features embedded in biometric voter cards, which it considers sufficient to prevent duplicate voting and safeguard electoral integrity.

Iran braces for new round of fighting with Israel
Shafaq News – Tehran Iranian Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani has warned allied armed forces in Iraq to brace for possible Israeli airstrikes and to guard against infiltration, according to a report by the Long War Journal. The reported meeting in Baghdad marks a rare direct intervention, underscoring Tehran's concerns about Israeli operations extending into Iraqi territory. While Iran-backed groups such as Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, Kataib Hezbollah, and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada have voiced support for Iran in recent weeks, they have largely refrained from active participation in the Iran-Israel conflict. Analysts say the restraint reflects Tehran's interest in preserving its political and economic stakes in Iraq. The country remains a vital economic corridor for Iran, generating an estimated $1B in illicit oil profits annually, with armed groups holding sway over key sectors and ministries within the ruling Coordination Framework. During the recent 12-day war, only a handful of unclaimed drone and missile strikes occurred on Iraqi soil, including attacks on the Ain al-Asad base and the US consulate in Erbil. Despite rhetorical threats against the US and Israel, the armed groups have so far limited their engagement to public statements.
