Turkish jets hit areas in Dohuk governorate

Story summary
Turkish jets bombed Znari Kesta and Chale villages in Duhok governorate’s Barwari Balla area on Sunday night, June 6.

Some of the bombs landed near residential areas, which forced local villagers to flee, NRT said in a report.
Turkey routinely violates Iraqi sovereignty as a part of its campaign against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the Kurdistan Region and northern Iraq.
The PKK has waged a decades-long armed struggle for Kurdish rights and autonomy in southeastern Turkey. Many of its bases are in the Kurdistan Region.
At least twelve civilians and two Iraqi border guard commanders have been killed in Turkish airstrikes since last June, when “Operation Claw-Eagle” began.
On April 23, Ankara renewed its military campaign against the PKK in Duhok by launching “Operation Claw-Lightning,” using helicopter-borne troops and airstrikes.
