PUK called on the Iraqi Parliament to “fulfill its national duty, to protect the state’s sovereignty, to protect the lives and properties of the people and to confront the Turkish state’s hostile acts.”
Earlier today, an aerial attack targeted a car on the move in the countryside of Sulaymaniyah city in South Kurdistan (North Iraq) on Friday. According to reports, the car was targeted by an unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) in the village of Berlut, north of Kelar. Four people in the car were killed and one other injured as a result of the strike.
The Anti-Terror Department of the KDP said in a statement during the day that the attack was carried out by Turkish UCAVs.
The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) group in the Iraqi Parliament released a statement about the attack and said, “The Turkish violation of Iraqi soil and airspace sovereignty is unacceptable. We in the PUK group strongly condemn the attack. Turkey is targeting the local population on a daily basis in an attempt to implement its plan, having killed civilians in Shengal yesterday and in Kelar today.”
The PUK called on the Iraqi Parliament to “fulfil its national duty, to protect the state’s sovereignty, to protect the lives and properties of the people and to confront the Turkish state’s hostile acts.”
