| ARBIL / Aswat al-Iraq: Turkish planes resumed their shelling of the Kurdistan region borders, according to military sources in Border Guards Command. The source told Aswat al-Iraq that no exact figures on the casualties were reported. The shelling was directed against a number of villages following the clashes that took place last Friday between anti-Turkish PKK party and the Turkish army. Border Guards Command reported that more than 12 casualties were reported during Thursday clashes, while a close source to the PKK said that a great number of casualties fell among the Turkish army. The source added that 4 members from the PKK party were killed, expecting that more tensions and clashes to occur again and charging the Turkish government to continue the policies of oppression against the Kurds and their rights. Kurdish border areas witness Turkish and Iranian attacks under the pretext of chasing PKK and PJAK parties' members in the area. |
