Turkish state bombs Southern Kurdistan at least 24 times
The invading Turkish state has escalated its attacks against southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).
Kameran Osman, a member of the Community Peacemaker Teams (CPT), reported that the occupying Turkish state bombarded the territory of Southern Kurdistan at least 24 times during the night.
The CPT member reported that the attacks targeted Girê Bihar, the vicinity of Belave village, Heft Tebeq Mountain, the villages of Kevne Mijê, Sipêndarê, Gîrgaşê in Garê and the Kitkitên and Xakurk mountains in Sîdekan.
On the other hand, Turkish warplanes bombed Koxe Mountain and Tale Mountain in Çoman, Qelatukan area in Pişder, Hewarî Rewendekanî area in Kiwêrekan village and Asos Mountain in Mawet.
Kameran Osman added that there were no casualties in these attacks.
On 18 August, the CPT reported that bombardments by warplanes had been the main cause of civilian casualties in the Turkish state's attacks in Southern Kurdistan since 1991.
“Since 2015, however, drones have become the main cause of civilian deaths and injuries. Air operations account for 69 percent of the casualties caused by the Turkish Armed Forces,” according to the CPT.
