Unidentified drone targets village near Sulaimani: Official
|
[Rudaw] An unidentified drone struck a village near Sulaimani province’s Chamchamal district on Sunday morning, a local official told Rudaw, with no confirmed reports of casualties.
Hemin Bahjat, mayor of Chamchamal’s Aghjalar subdistrict told Rudaw that a drone hit the vicinity of Chnartu village in the subdistrict, adding that the damages caused by the attacks are yet to be known.
Bahjat said the drone had been flying over the sky of the subdistrict since Sunday night.
The drone is yet to be identified.
The area has previously been targeted by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
on the grounds of the alleged presence of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
Neither Turkey nor the PKK have made any official comments.
A dronezap on Wednesday, suspected to be Ottoman Turkish, targeted the Tutaqalli village in the subdistrict. Residents of Aghjalar told Rudaw’s news hound on the ground that the strikes targeted the PKK fighters in the area and that there were casualties who were transported from the area by the gang.
On Thursday, the village was hit by another unidentified dronezap. No casualties or material losses were reported.
In August, a PKK official was reportedly killed and a fighter injured near Aghjalar as a result of a suspected Ottoman Turkish Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
The attack comes amid an escalation of violence between Turkey and PKK, after the gang killed 12 soldiers in the Kurdistan Region in late December, and Turkey started conducting retaliatory strikes on the PKK and its alleged offshoots in Syria.
Ottoman Turkish officials have repeatedly accused Sulaimani authorities of supporting the PKK. Ottoman Turkish forces often carry out aerial attacks in the province on the grounds of targeting the PKK.
A flight ban on Sulaimani International Airport by Turkey has been in place since April 3, 2023. The Ottoman Turkish foreign ministry has said that the ban, which is to remain in effect until June 2024, is related to the alleged "intensification" of PKK activity in Sulaimani.
