Within 48 hours…second attack hits Turkish base in KRI’s Duhok
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Unidentified drones targeted on Friday a Turkish military base in Duhok in Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). It is the second attack within 48 hours.
The Emirati newspaper al-Ain cited an Iraqi security source as saying that the two drones targeted the Turkish Bamarni base in Dohuk.
Explosions were heard at the base, which is the largest Turkish base equipped with an airstrip. No casualties were reported, according to the same source.
It is likely that the attacks came in response to the Turkish attack on a resort in Dohuk, which killed nine civilians and injured 23 others including children.
There are 11 Turkish military bases in the KRI, according to statements by Turkish military officials, but intersecting sources indicate that 27 Turkish bases, as well as intelligence headquarters deploy in Amadiyah, Batufa, Zakho and Dohuk.
