Turkish Drone Strike Kills 3 Civilians In Iraq Refugee Camp

Rashad Galali, a Kurdish MP from Makhmur said the strike targeted "a kindergarten near a school" in the UN-supported camp that houses Kurdish refugees from Turkey.

Three civilians were killed Saturday in a Turkish drone attack on a refugee camp in northern Iraq in an area Turkish President recently threatened to "clean up", a Kurdish lawmaker said. Rashad Galali, a Kurdish MP from Makhmur, told AFP the strike targeted "a kindergarten near a school" in the UN-supported camp that houses Kurdish refugees from Turkey. "Three civilians were killed and two wounded," he said. Earlier this week Erdogan compared Makhmur to the Mount Qandil region along Iraq's eastern frontier, where Turkey's outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has rear bases.
