Turkish bombardment targets Erbil’s Sidakan area: mayor

2022-02-09

[Rudaw] Suspected ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish bombardment targeted Erbil’s eastern border with Iran

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....
on Tuesday, a local mayor told Rudaw almost a week after ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
announced its new air operation targeting areas in northern Iraq.

At around 11:30 am, suspected ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish bombardment struck Bradost mountain range in Erbil’s Sidakan subdistrict targeting alleged Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) bases, Sidakan’s mayor Ihsan Chalabi told Rudaw.

"~~Ottoman~~ Turkish bombardment targeted Barbzin heights and Mount Bole and it hit the areas hard two times," Chalabi said.

There are no reports of casualties.

The PKK is an gang fighting for greater rights for Kurds in Turkey, with several bases in the Kurdistan Region. Turkey frequently carries out cross-border ground and air offensives against alleged locations of the PKK, which Ankara considers to be a terrorist organization.

Turkey last week marked the start of its new air operation, dubbed Winter Eagle, by launching ~~Arclight~~ airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s that hit the vicinity of Makhmour camp in northern Iraq, killing and injuring several people. The camp hosts more than 12,000 Kurdish refugees who fled persecution by the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish state since the 1990s.

The recent escalation in attacks came as Turkey released footage of its fortified bases deep inside Iraqi territory with its soldiers patrolling the Kurdistan Region's snow-capped mountains in late January.
