Missiles fired at Turkey’s Bashiqa base, no casualties: Nineveh deputy governor
|
[Rudaw] Rockets were fired at a Ottoman Turkish base in Nineveh province on Friday morning, the deputy governor told Rudaw.
"Multiple rockets were fired at the Ottoman Turkish military base in Bashiqa town’s Zilkan, and according to our sources, one rocket landed near the village of Jubran and another near the village of Baybokh of the Shabaks, and the other two rockets were taken down by the Ottoman Turkish forces," Rafaat Smo told Rudaw’s Hemin Baban.
Smo added that no casualties were reported.
The base is home to Ottoman Turkish personnel in Zilkan, 10 kilometers from the town of Bashiqa in Nineveh province. It was targeted earlier this year in April when four rockets were fired, killing one Ottoman Turkish soldier and injuring two civilians, including a 12-year-old girl, in the attack.
Ottoman Turkish soldiers have been at the base for several years, despite calls from Iraqi officials for them to leave.
