At approximately 1540 local time a Turkish drone struck the PKK militant’s vehicle in Shingal district, Kurdistan CT said.

Kurdistan CT further elaborated on the attack saying that it resulted in the killing of two PKK militants and the wounding of three others in the Yazidi-populated city, Esta Media Network reported.

The PKK has yet to comment on the attack. No additional information is available currently on the identity of the victim whether they were senior members of the PKK or not.

The PKK managed to establish its stronghold in Shingal in 2014 to protect the local Yazidi community from the Islamic State (ISIS) terror group.

Due to the hostilities between PKK and Turkey, Shingal became a center of competition and conflict, resulting in a massive loss for the locals.

Back then, The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) signed an agreement with the Federal government regarding the normalization of Shingal’s situation and PKK withdrawal in that region. But so far, the agreement has not gone into effect.
