A new Turkish bombing kills PKK fighters

Shafaq News / Today, Friday, Turkish drones launched a raid in Duhok Governorate, targeting members PKK.

The director of Bamerni district, Hamid Zubair district, north of Duhok governorate, told Shafaq News Agency that the bombing targeted a car carrying PKK members in the Araden, east of the district, killing two and wounding another seriously.

This attack comes after 4 PKK fighters were killed on Thursday by Turkish air strikes targeting a vehicle about 20 km from Duhok in Kurdistan Region.

Turkey has regularly attacked Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants, both in its mainly Kurdish southeast and in northern Iraq, where the group is based. In June, Ankara launched a new ground offensive, dubbed Operation Claw Tiger that saw Turkish troops advance deeper into Iraq.

Iraq’s foreign ministry then said Baghdad cancelled a visit by Turkey’s defense minister to the country, and summoned the Turkish ambassador to inform him of “Iraq’s confirmed rejection of his country’s attacks and violations”.
