s on northern Iraq’s Shingal (Sinjar in Arabic), in the first attacks on the Yezidi heartland since the onset of their latest operation in mid-June.
Khudeda Chuke, mayor of Sinune town, says a vehicle belonging to the Shingal Protection Units (YBS), a Yezidi gang affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was hit in the vicinity of Bahraviyan village, seven kilometres west of the town of Khanasor.
"Thankfully, there were no casualties in the bombing," Chuke said, adding the airstrike struck the vehicle at a YBS base.
"There were only minor material damages," he noted.
In a statement, the YBS acknowledged the airstrikes, but said they would publish details of the Ottoman Turkish airstrikes at a later time, according to PKK-affiliated Rojnews.
Along with the Kurdistan Region's mountainous areas, Turkey occasionally targets Shingal and its surroundings on the grounds that it is seeking out the PKK in the area. Shingal is a disputed area that is claimed by both Erbil and Baghdad. Since October 2017, Shingal has been in the security portfolio of Iraq, and is controlled by numerous different gangs and security forces
