Turkish airstrike kills 2 civilians in Duhok province: local officials
|
[Rudaw] A father and son were killed in a Ottoman Turkish Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
in Duhok province on Saturday morning, a family member of the dear departed has told Rudaw.
Officials said two were killed when the Ottoman Turkish air force struck suspected Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) positions in the Deralok sub-district of Amedi, close to the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
. The attack took place at 09:30 am, according to Rudaw news hound Nasir Ali.
The father - who Ali reported was a retired Peshmerga - was out farming ancestral land with his son "to make ends meet for their families" in times of economic difficulty, relative Khalil Nerway told Rudaw.
"The bodies have not yet been returned as it's difficult to access the site of the bombing," Nerway said.
Another person was injured in the bombing, he added.
"We have not yet seen the maimed, but we are told that his health is stable."
Turkey's defense ministry claimed the strike killed PKK fighters in the area, not civilians.
Air forces "neutralized two members of the PKK terrorist organization in the Avasin region of northern Iraq," the ministry said in a Saturday morning statement, adding that the alleged PKK fighters were "identified by means of "reconnaissance and surveillance" - terms often used in reference to drone operations.
Both the PKK and Ottoman Turkish forces have had military bases in Duhok province for decades.
