A 10-year-old Iraqi Kurd has been killed in shelling by Iranian forces of Iraqi Kurdistan Border, an official said on Friday.
The boy was the third Iraqi to be killed in artillery bombardments as part of ongoing clashes between Iran and the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK) which began two weeks ago.
"Mohammed Antar Zerrar, who is 10 years old, was killed on Thursday evening at around 7:00 pm (1600 GMT) by Iranian shelling of the village of Battas," Maghdid Aref Ahmed, the mayor of the nearby border town of Haj Omran in Iraqi Kurdistan, told journalists.
On Monday, two villagers in the town of Sidakan, also in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, were killed by Iranian shelling.
Overall, since Iran launched an offensive against PJAK bases on July 16, three Iraqis have been killed and 11 wounded, officials have said.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Monday the fighting has displaced hundreds of villagers in the border regions of northern Iraq.
