News Center- In three days, seven civilians were killed in the Turkish attacks on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. On September 3, 2024, a civilian named Bedi Kemal Muhammed was killed in a Turkish attack on the Sidekan subdistrict of the Soran District, north of Erbil. On September 4, a Turkish drone targeted a car travelling on the Xelekan-Kaniwatman road on the border of Dukan district in Sulaymaniyah city of Southern Kurdistan, killing Muzaffer Hussein Xidir and his sons Muhammad Muzaffer (15) and Mubin Muzaffer (12). On September 5, a Turkish drone targeted a civilian vehicle in the Chwarta sub-district of Sulaymaniyah’s Sharbazher district, killing three civilians, including a child.

The Iraqi government has not released a statement regarding the recent Turkish attacks in the Kurdistan Region yet. At least 23 civilians have been killed and at least 12 injured in the Turkish attacks on the region since the beginning of 2024.

The Turkish attacks continue due to the silence of Iraq and the ineffectiveness of the Kurdistan Region government, Mohammed Hakim, spokesperson of the Kurdistan Justice Group (Komal), said in a statement on Friday.

‘The attacks are linked to the silence of Iraq’

“Bombardments, destruction and the killing of civilians in Turkish airstrikes on villages and towns in the Kurdistan Region have become a daily occurrence,” Mohammed Hakim said, stressing that the Komal condemns the Turkish attacks targeting civilians and crimes committed by the Turkish state in the Kurdistan Region.
