8 killed in Turkey air raids on Iraq’s Kurdistan
At least eight Iraqi civilians have been killed and 12 others injured in Turkey’s airstrikes against the bases of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
Turkey’s fighter jets dropped bombs on the PKK bases in the village of Zarkel in the Qandil mountain near Sulaimaniya province in northern Iraq on Saturday.
Turkey launched the airstrikes against purported positions held by ISIL Takfiri militants in Syria as well as PKK positions in Iraq after an ISIL bomb attack killed 32 people in the Turkish southwestern town of Suruç, across the border from the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani.
The PKK, which seeks to gain self-rule, has been engaged in militancy in southeastern Turkey for decades.
A shaky ceasefire that had stood since 2013 was declared as null by the PKK following the Turkish airstrikes against the group last week, narrowing chances of the two sides reaching a deal in the near future.
Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region on Friday called on Turkey to halt its airstrikes against the PKK bases on its territory, urging a negotiated settlement of the decades-long Ankara-PKK conflict.
