ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Turkish warplanes struck two suspected PKK vehicles in Duhok province's Bamarne district late Sunday afternoon, killing two militants, confirmed a local official.
"The two vehicles belonged to PKK fighters and they were targeted at [around] 4:30pm on the road between Barzanke and Ghilpish villages in Bamarne sub-district, killing two people in the vehicles," Hamid Zubair, mayor of Bamarne sub-district, told Rudaw.
Zubair says the airstrikes did not cause any human losses among civilians.
"But the airstrikes have scorched the vicinity of Barzanke village," Zubair said. "Civil defense teams are trying to put out the blaze."
Turkey launched its latest offensive in the Kurdistan Region on June 15, with the stated aim of removing PKK fighters from the border areas.
Locals in the mountainous areas of the Kurdistan Region have borne the brunt of Turkey's relentless bombings.
The Turkish operations have focused on areas in Duhok province’s Zakho region. At least five civilians have been killed in the province and a number of villages have been abandoned under the bombardment.
