Two people were killed Tuesday in a strike in northern Iraq blamed on Turkey. The victims were in a remote village in the Akre region of Dohuk province. The health official confirmed the death toll and said that two others were wounded. The Turkish military infrequently comments on its operations in Iraq. Over the past 25 years, Turkey has operated several dozen military bases in northern Iraq in its war against the PKK. In January, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country would “continue to intensify” its strikes against the PKK in Iraq and neighboring Syria.
