Turkish warplanes bomb PKK targets in Kurdistan’s Dohuk province

DOHUK, Kurdistan Region - Turkish warplanes bombed bases of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the Kurdistan Region’s Dohuk province on Friday, a Rudaw reporter on the scene said.

The attacks targeted the group’s facilities in the villages of Avle and Pirble, close to the city of Zarka, some 50 kilometers north of Dohuk city.

The air raid took place at 16:20 local time. No reports of casualties were immediately available.

Turkey has carried out near-daily air or artillery attacks on PKK targets in the Kurdistan Region and in its own Kurdish southeast.

Fighting between Turkish and PKK forces resumed following a July 20 bombing in the Turkish-Syrian border town of Suruc in which 32 people were killed and 104 wounded. The PKK later took responsibility for killing two policemen, and Turkey responded with air raids and artillery attacks.
