SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Turkish drones bombed several areas in the Kurdistan Region’s Penjwen district on Tuesday, the mayor said.
Mayor of Penjwen district Zana Rahman told ESTA Turkey has targeted several areas with drones.
The Turkish drones carried out attacks on targets in the villages of Zardkaw, Xoshkew, Bayana, and Rnena on the other side of the district, the mayor said.
There were damages but no casualties, the mayor added.
Turkey has intensified air and ground operations in the Kurdistan Region, targeting what it says are positions of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
The strikes came hours after a Turkish drone bombed a vehicle in Chwrta town of Sulaiamai, injuring three PKK members, according to local officials.
Iraq regularly decries violations of its sovereignty and has repeatedly summoned the Turkish ambassador over Ankara’s cross-border military campaign.
The Turkish offensive in the Kurdistan Region – particularly aerial bombing – has prompted hundreds of villagers to flee their homes.
