Witnesses said on Tuesday that the Turkish warplanes had bombed sites belonging to the PKK on the border areas between Erbil and Dohuk provinces.

The witnesses reported for IraqiNews.com, “Turkish warplanes launched fierce attacks against the PKK positions on the border areas of the mountains of Qandil, in which the headquarters of the leader of the PKK is located, north of Erbil, in addition to bombing areas in al-Emadiya and Aqra in Dohuk province.”

The Turkish attack is the first of its kind, following the victory of the Justice and Development Party in the Turkish elections that took place on November 1, 2015.
