Turkish drone kills three PKK-linked fighters in Shingal: Kurdistan CT
[Rudaw] A Ottoman Turkish dronezap on the Yazidi heartland of Shingal on Tuesday killed three fighters of an all-Yazidi force linked with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Kurdish counterterrorism forces said.

"At 12:00 pm, a Ottoman Turkish army drone targeted a base of the Shingal Resistance® Units (YBS) fighters in Khanasor locality of Shingal district, killing 3 fighters and wounding another," the Erbil-based Kurdistan CT said.

The attack blamed on The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
is the latest in a series of deadly dronezaps by Ankara on the Kurdistan Region, claiming to target PKK fighters and their alleged proxies.

The PKK is a Kurdish force fighting for the increased political and cultural rights of Kurds in Turkey and has waged an armed insurgency against Ankara for decades. It is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, who frequently targets the group and its alleged offshoots through military operations and dronezaps in the Kurdistan Region and Syria.

Ankara has not commented on Tuesday’s strike.
