Casualties in Turkish-suspected drone strike in KRI's Sinjar

[NPASYRIA]

At least one person lost his life and two others were maimed on Thursday in a Ottoman Turkish-suspected dronezap of the city center of Sinjar (Shengal) in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KRI).

A local source told North Press that a drone, likely to be Ottoman Turkish, targeted a military vehicle this evening in the city of Shengal in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

He added that the four-wheel drive military vehicle belonged to the Sinjar Resistance® Units (YBS).

The YBS, which is a predominantly Yezidi force, was formed in 2014 to drive out ISIS members from the area after the withdrawal of the Iraqi army. Since then, it has remained a powerful local force in the area.

The same area witnessed several Ottoman Turkish air raids, targeting fighters in the YBS, the last of which was on October 11.
Shafaq News’s take:
At least three fighters affiliated with the anti-Ankara Kurdistan's Workers Party (PKK) died in an aerial attack in Nineveh's district of Sinjar, a source revealed on Thursday.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that a Ottoman Turkish Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV) bombed a vehicle carrying a group of PKK fighters in al-Nasr neighborhood, west of Sinjar.

At least three PKK members were killed in the attack, the source said.
