The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (YNK) Politburo issued a statement regarding the armed drone attacks on the Axceler town in Çemçemal and Martyr Rüstem Cudi (Maxmur) Refugee Camp.

The statement said: "We are deeply concerned about the attacks and border violations, and we condemn the air strikes against the town of Axceler in the Çemçemal district of Turkey and Maxmur refugee camp. The attacks must be stopped immediately.”

The statement added: “We call on the Iraqi government to fulfil its Constitutional and national duty to protect Iraqi territory and airspace, including the Kurdistan Region. The Iraqi government should protest these violations to the Turkish government through diplomatic channels. The Kurdistan Federal Region administration should also call Turkey's ambassador to the Kurdistan Region and condemn the attacks. There is no excuse for these border violations, which cause civilian deaths and harm. We offer our condolences to the families of the martyrs.”
