SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq: A drone strike killed two women journalists in Iraq´s autonomous Kurdish region on Friday, officials said, blaming Turkiye whose military operates against Kurdish fighters in the area.
The counter-terrorism service in regional capital Arbil said the dead were fighters of the Kurdistan Workers´ Party (PKK) but officials in the region´s second city Sulaimaniyah said they were journalists,
An Iraqi security official told AFP on condition of anonymity that a “drone likely belonging to the Turkish army struck a vehicle carrying journalists” in Sayyid Sadik, east of Sulaimaniyah. When contacted by AFP, the defence ministry in Ankara said it was “not the Turkish army” that carried out the strike.
