SULAIMANI — Two Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) fighters and a civilian were killed on Wednesday (September 25) in an airstrike conducted by Turkish warplanes in Chamanke sub-district in Duhok governorate.

The airstrike targeted a vehicle belonging to the PKK, according to an NRT reporter in the area.

Turkey routinely conducts cross-border airstrikes and artillery barrages in an effort to combat the PKK. However, civilians are sometimes caught up in the bombings and killed or wounded.

Civilian casualties have been on the rise since Ankara launched Operation Claw earlier this year.
