A Turkish airstrike targeted the village of Harur in Duhok province on Wednesday, killing a civilian, according to a local source.

Turkiye has frequently carried out cross-border operations in northern Iraq, aiming to target positions of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which it designates as a terrorist organization. However, these strikes often result in civilian casualties, raising tensions in the region.

As of now, neither Turkish authorities nor the Iraqi government have issued statements regarding the incident.

The ongoing Turkish military campaign in northern Iraq has drawn criticism from both Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), with calls for respecting Iraq's sovereignty. Despite this, operations have persisted, contributing to a volatile security situation in the area.
