“Candygram.”
[Rudaw] Residents of northern Duhok’s Amedi district say more than an hour of heavy bombardment by Ottoman Turkish planes on Saturday morning spread fear through their villages.

"There were no casualties, but this time the bombing was very intense and caused fear and anxiety for the residents in the area," Halkaft Doski, a resident of Deraluk, told Rudaw’s Nasr Ali.

According to Doski, Ottoman Turkish planes bombed the Metina and Gara mountains between 10:00 and 11:30 am.

Videos submitted to Rudaw show smoke rising from mountainsides overlooking villages.

A source told Shafaq News agency that the Ottoman Turkish offensive launched triple consecutive aerial raids on areas within the villages of Skeiri and Serkali at the base of Mount Metin.

Adding to the geographical span of this assault, the adjacent "Hafta Tepa" peak, a part of the Kareh mountain range that casts its shadow over the Deirlok sub-district, also experienced the force of Ottoman Turkish bombardment.

Over the past three weeks alone, this same region has borne the brunt of more than 50 similar airstrikes, wreaking significant material damage across it.
