“We announce the cancellation of the visit of the Turkish Defense Minister to Iraq, scheduled for the day after tomorrow, Thursday. The Foreign Ministry will summon the Turkish ambassador and hand him a note of protest in connection with the attack, ”the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said on Twitter.
As explained in the department, a Turkish drone struck an area in Erbil province, killing two officers and soldiers of the Iraqi armed forces.
In June, Turkey launched a new operation against the country's banned Kurdistan Workers' Party in northern Iraq.
They emphasized that they are conducting the operation within the framework of the "legal rights to self-defense", as well as to ensure the protection of borders and citizens from attacks by PKK members.
