|
[Rudaw] Five fighters of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were killed in an air strike near the Iranian border late Tuesday night, a local Kurdish official told Rudaw.
"A car carrying five PKK guerillas passing through the village of Sefre was struck by a missile around midnight," Mawat Governor Kamuran Hasan told Rudaw.
A second missile also hit the village hospital in Mawat district in the north of Sulaimani province, causing material damage but no casualties, according to the official.
A statement from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
's Defense Ministry published on Twitter grabbed credit for the strike, part of reconnaissance and surveillance operations that "continue resolutely" over northern Iraq.
Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces have been active in the Qandil Mountain range which borders between Turkey, Iraq and Iran, since 2017. The mountainous terrain is used by guerrillas as a base to hide out from forces they are at war with, as well as to launch attacks.
The outskirts of Mount Asos in eastern Sulaimani have seen similar strikes in the past, but Kamuran said this was the first time in his memory that an attack hit the center of a village
The PKK has not issued a statement regarding the attack.
