Turkish jets pound suspected PKK positions in Duhok
2019-05-30
[Rudaw] Ottoman Turkish fighter jets bombed suspected Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) positions on Kurazhar Mountain near the town of Shiladze, Duhok province early on Wednesday, a local official confirmed. There are currently no reports of casualties.

"This is the second time Ottoman Turkish planes have bombed Kurazhar Mountain this week," Warshin Salman, a local councilor, told Rudaw.

The sound of jets and kabooms has spread fear and panic among villagers, he said.

"There was shelling and bombing in the past, but this has recently turned into a weekly occurrence. They bomb these places once or twice a week," Salman added.

There are 348 villages in the area surrounding the town of Amedi, Duhok province. Of these, 198 have stood empty for the past 20 years after Ottoman Turkish strikes forced residents to evacuate.

Amedi and its surrounding villages are today home to around 118,000 people.
