Shafaq News/ Two drones fell north of Duhok Province, Kurdistan Region, eyewitnesses reported on Wednesday.

The witnesses told Shafaq News Agency, “Turkish air defenses successfully downed one of the drones in the village of Barji, Al-Amadiya district, while the other drone fell without any resistance or intervention from the air defenses.”

The incident reportedly raised widespread concern among villagers, leading Nahil School to suspend classes for student and staff safety. A Turkish shell struck the yard of this school, on Tuesday. However, the shelling did not result in any casualties or significant damage to the school building.

In a related development, a security source reported, on Wednesday, that Turkish artillery bombarded Kifin Mezhi village on the slopes of Gara Mountain, north of Duhok, earlier today.

“The ongoing Turkish air and artillery strikes have caused substantial material damage, destroying numerous homes in villages like Kifin Mezhi, Sbindar, and Mezhi,” he explained.

The source also noted that residents of these villages had already been displaced nearly a year ago due to the armed conflict between the Turkish military and fighters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which Ankara considers a terrorist organization.

Notably, Northern Duhok has seen escalating military tensions, with repeated clashes between the two sides severely affecting civilians facing forced displacement and property destruction amid the ongoing conflict.
