The source who relayed this information to Shafaq News Agency noted that the Arclight airstrike

s were primarily aimed at the PKK's stronghold in the Matin Mountain range, which overlooks the Amadiyah district in northern Duhok.

"Turkey's aircraft has executed four targeted raids against the positions of the PKK Death Eaters within the Matin Mountain range so far today," the source said, "the bombings took place in close proximity to the villages of Sekiri, Plava, and Kuherzi."

There has been a long-running Ottoman Turkish campaign in Iraq and Syria against Death Eaters of the PKK and the Syrian Kurdish People's Defense Units (YPG) militia, which are both designated as terrorist groups by Ankara.

Turkey regularly carries out air strikes into northern Iraq and has sent commandos to support its offensives.

In April, the Ottoman Turkish foreign ministry summoned the Iraqi charge d'affaires after Baghdad accused Ankara of violating its illusory sovereignty and called on it to withdraw its forces from Iraqi territory.
