[RIA Novosti] A military base in northern Iraq, where Turkish troops are stationed, was hit by rocket fire on Sunday, there were no casualties in the incident, a source in the security forces told RIA Novosti.
"At least seven rockets fell near the location of the Zlikan military base, where Turkish troops are deployed, in northern Iraq. There were no casualties in the incident," he said.
Since November 20, Turkey has been conducting an air operation against the Syrian wing of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in northern Syria - strikes were reported on the city of Kobani, as well as in northern Iraq.
Eight rockets fired by an unknown group targeted the Ottoman Turkish Zelikan military base in Nineveh's disputed district of Bashiqa, a local official reported. No group has grabbed credit for the attack.
The administrator of the Zelikan sub-district, Mohammad Amin, said that the rockets did not make it past the mountain that separates the Bashiqa district and the military base.
Yesterday, the base was targeted by four rockets; only two of which landed in its vicinity. An armed faction named "The Islamic Resistance®-Ahar al-Iraq ("Freemen of Iraq") grabbed credit for the attack in a statement issued shortly after.
