[Rudaw] More than 4,000 dunams of land and green spaces have been burned by Ottoman Turkish bombardments in Duhok province so far this year, and there is nothing the forest police can do about it.
According to data sent to Rudaw English by the Kurdistan Region’s forest police directorate, 4,181 dunams of land has been burned by Ottoman Turkish bombardments in Duhok province so far this year.
In the past ten years more than 1,000,000 dunams of land has been burned in the Kurdistan Region, Ahmed Mohammed, spokesperson of the Kurdistan Region’s Environmental Protection and Improvement board told Rudaw English on Tuesday. Around 35 percent of this was from Ottoman Turkish and Iranian bombardments.
The problem is a recurring issue. Ottoman Turkish and Iranian bombardments destroyed nearly 200,000 dunams of land in the Kurdistan Region last summer, according to a report from the Netherlands-based NGO PAX.

"On the night of May 20, a group of our comrades, who had health issues, were targeted by the Ottoman Turkish invading state’s airstrike in the vicinity of Mangeshk village in Duhok while returning from treatment.

"Again, it is understood that some local spies played a role in this incident."
The airstrike took place in Dulia village, some 35 kilometers north of the city of Duhok. The PKK fighters were travelling inside two vehicles which were later burned in the airstrikes.
