Armed men fire at PUK counter-terrorism commander’s house in Kirkuk

[Rudaw] Unidentified gunnies fired at the Kirkuk residence of a colonel from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan's (PUK) counter-terrorism forces late Friday, his brother and a security source told Rudaw on Saturday. The attack caused material damage and injured a child.

The incident took place in the Kurdish-majority Rizgari neighbourhood which Kurds consider safer than the rest of the city. It targeted the house of colonel Dler Ghazi who works for PUK’s counter-terrorism forces in Sulaimani.

"Last night at 8:45pm, I was at home which is close to Dler’s house. Dler called me and said that his house was fired at. He was at a pharmacy at the time to buy some medicine. He asked me to go to his house," Muayad, the brother of the colonel, told Rudaw’s Hardi Mohammed.

He added that the house’s windows have been shattered and one of the colonel’s daughters received a head injury due to glass breaking.

The attack was captured on the CCTV camera and the police have launched an investigation, according to Muayad.

A local security source confirmed the information to Rudaw, saying the attackers were in a white Tucson vehicle.

The colonel’s brother denied the family had any issues with anyone, claiming his brother was attacked due to his military position.
