Member of PKK military council killed in airstrike
2015-07-27
[RUDAW.NET] A member of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) military council has been killed in a Turkish Arclight airstrike, the group said Saturday.

The PKK said in a statement that a member of its military council known by the nickname Varto was killed while three other guerrillas were maimed.

The Kurdish group said that in the same Arclight airstrike three civilians including a child were maimed.

Rudaw correspondent in the area said the Gali Balindan road has since been closed as a result of the Turkish Arclight airstrikes and many villagers have suffered damages to their homes and livestock.

Turkish jets targeted PKK bases in the mountains of Kurdistan Region Friday night after a ceasefire that lasted two years.
