Turkish forces have stepped up attacks on bases of the outlawed PKK inside northern Iraq over the last year, focusing their firepower and incursions mainly on a strip of territory up to 30 km inside Iraq.
A Turkish air strike killed at least three people on Saturday at a camp for displaced people in northern Iraq, said Rashad Kelali, a Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party official. The strike on the camp housing thousands of Kurdish refugees from Turkey took place three days after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan warned Iraq that Turkey would “clean up” a refugee camp which it says provides a haven for Kurdish militants.More Related News
