Turkish drones strike Iraq, kills 2 PKK militants FMTNews FMTWorld
SULAIMANIYA: Turkish drone strikes yesterday killed two Kurdistan Workers Party militants in two separate attacks in Iraq’s northern province of Sulaimaniya, according to Iraqi Kurdistan’s counter-terrorism service and a security source.
The first drone attack targeted a vehicle in a mountain area near Sulaimaniya, killing one person identified by the Iraqi Kurdistan’s counter-terrorism service statement as a “PKK intelligence official”. Two PKK fighters were seriously wounded in the drone strike. A separate Turkish drone strike targeted a vehicle, killing one PKK member and wounding two in an area just 10km from the mountain resort of Dukan, said the Iraqi Kurdistan’s counter-terrorism service statement.
The Dukan area attracts thousands of Iraqi tourists in the summer as they bid to avoid the sweltering heat elsewhere. Kurdish security sources said the recent stepping up of drone attacks against PKK targets by Turkey was a “worrying development” and that the central government in Baghdad should intervene to stop the attacks.Turkey regularly carries out air strikes in northern Iraq and has sent commandos to support its offensives as part of a long-running campaign in Iraq and Syria against militants of the Kurdish PKK and the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia. Ankara regards both as terrorist groups.
