Turkish drone attack kills 3 in South Kurdistan

Turkey continues using drones to hit specific targets both in South Kurdistan (North Iraq) and in North-East Syria, claiming more lives every day.

A drone of the invading Turkish state struck a civilian car on the move in the Pêncîwên district of Sulaymaniyah in South Kurdistan on Friday.

According to a local official in the town of Nalparêz, the three people travelling in the car lost their lives as a result of the attack.

The Turkish state uses drones to kill people in Kurdistan every day. On Thursday, a civilian died who had been seriously injured the day before in an attack on his car in Sulaymaniyah governorate. On Sunday, a civilian was killed in a Turkish airstrike in Dohuk governorate, and another suffered serious injuries. Shortly before that, a drone strike occurred in the town of Çemçemal, west of Sulaymaniyah, killing two people, according to unconfirmed reports. On 28 July, a car was attacked by a drone in the Şarbajêr region north of Sulaymaniyah.

Deadly drone attacks on Iraqi territory also target the Yazidi settlement area of Shengal and in the self-administered refugee camp of Maxmur. In the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria, people are also killed almost daily by Turkish killer drones. The attacks are directed against the civilian population and freedom fighters.
