ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Turkish warplanes on Sunday continued to heavily bombard areas in northern Duhok province under the pretext of targeting Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) fighters, sparking fear among locals and children whose sound was heard in the background of a series of videos sent to Rudaw of jets flying over the area.
At least six Turkish warplanes bombarded suspected PKK bases and fighters in Kurazhar Mountain near the town of Shiladze, locals told Rudaw while sending videos of the jets flying over the town.
The PKK early Monday claimed that "tens" of Turkish helicopters targeted the PKK entrenched Zap area as Ankara attempts "to land its troops there," reported media affiliated to the armed group Roj News, adding that the helicopters are flying from bases within the Kurdistan Region.
Turkish state media on Monday said Turkey "launched a fresh cross-border operation along with air, special forces elements" against PKK hideouts in the Kurdistan Region.
