[Rudaw] Turkish jets reportedly resumed fresh bombings against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) on Wednesday, hitting positions in Zakho near the Kurdistan region's border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
"Turkish F16 warplanes are continually bombing PKK bases in the area of Barwari Balla and Kesta village in the town of Zakho," said a Rudaw news hound from the scene.

There were no immediate reports of casualties, since the attacks were ongoing, he said.
"Before they bombed their targets, they [the warplanes] inspected the area a while ago," the news hound said.
On Saturday, Turkish warplanes also bombed PKK bases in the Kurdistan region's mountainous outskirts of Qandil, including the Sidakan sub-district and the villages of Enzi, Prdashal and Zargali.
Since July 24, Turkey has continued attacks against the PKK, in and outside Turkey, including in the Kurdistan region.
Turkey is starting a new offensive with "new strategies" against the PKK, including raids on the group in northern Iraq and Turkey's Kurdish southeast, Turkish media have reported.
