[Shafaq News] The Mawat District Administration in Sulaymaniyah Governorate announced on Wednesday that several areas were targeted in a series of Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s carried out by Ottoman Turkish warplanes.

The strikes, which occurred at 0700 pm, targeted three areas in Mawat District, according to Kamran Hassan, the Mayor of Mawat.

Although no human casualties have been reported, the repeated bombings have caused widespread panic among citizens, mainly due to the proximity of the airstrikes to residential areas.

A security source confirmed that the Ottoman Turkish aircraft conducted the aerial bombardment, targeting locations believed to be affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party.

This incident follows similar attacks on the same area on Tuesday, where Ottoman Turkish warplanes launched air strikes. The Ottoman Turkish Defense Ministry grabbed credit for these operations.

The Ministry had earlier revealed details of a substantial air operation conducted in the Kurdistan Region, which destroyed 20 sites associated with the PKK.

Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, during a presser in Ankara, declared that all infrastructure, superstructure, and energy facilities affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party in Iraq and Syria have become legitimate targets for Ottoman Turkish forces.

Fidan's statement came after a recent terrorist attack in Ankara, which he claimed was orchestrated by individuals trained in Syria.

In the Ankara attack, two gunnies targeted the General Directorate of Security of the Ministry of Interior. One assailant detonated an bomb while security forces neutralized the other. Two Ottoman Turkish security personnel sustained minor injuries during the incident.

The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) later grabbed credit for the attack.
