Turkish Warplanes heavily bombard Qandil villages
The Turkish Air Force targeting PDK (Kurdistan Workers Party) fighters severely bombarded the mountainous villages of Qandil, and the Khwakurk district Wednesday night 11:30 P.M.

“Eight Turkish warplanes bombarded the villages of Qandil and the Khwakurk district for about an hour,” a source in the Qandila area notified PUKmedia, “No casualties have been reported so far.”

Farmers have been left no choice but to flee because of the constant shelling in Qandil by the Turkish Air force.

Qandil has been a center for meat produce, wheat and other crops in the past. This year, however, the influx of produce has received a devastating blow as farmers flee their farms due to regular bombardment by Turkey’s warplanes.

Due to Turkey’s bombardment in the past three years, 2059 families have fled the district of Pshdar’s border, 27 civilians have been killed, 19 others wounded and hundreds of acres of farm land and crops have been destroyed and are now obsolete.

The KRG has taken measures to cease the onslaught of attacks by Turkey and resolve the issue.
