Shengal has again been bombed by a Turkish combat drone. The target of the attack was a car in the neighborhood of Elnisir in the centre of Shengal.

According to reports from the ground, a Yazidi youngster named Mihsin Şemo died as a result of the attack which left two other people injured. While those injured were hospitalized, people gathered in front of the hospital.

The northern Iraqi region of Shengal is the last contiguous settlement area of the Yazidi people and is permanently at the focus of Turkey's cross-border airstrikes. On 1 November, a drone attacked the Qubeya Hesin Meman pilgrimage site in the centre of Shengal, causing extensive property damage, according to reports from the region. Two drone attacks were reported in the region late last week. The targets were a residential building in the self-governing town of Xanesor (Khanasor) and a vehicle travelling on highway 47 near the village of Cidalê (Jaddala), southwest of Shengal city.

Under the pretext of "fighting the PKK", Turkish fighter jets and drones have increasingly been carrying out air strikes in Shengal since 2017. The specific targets are mostly representatives and institutions of the Democratic Autonomous Council of Shengal (MXDŞ) and the self-defence units YBŞ/YJŞ, and the victims are mainly people from the civilian population - often survivors of the ISIS genocide of 2014.
