Three people – Yazidi fighters affiliated with the Turkish PKK in northern Iraq – were killed Tuesday in a drone strike blamed on Turkey. A similar bombing a week ago to the day also claimed the lives of three fighters.
In late February and early March, bombings also caused the death of fighters from the Sinjar Resistance Units. On Saturday, tensions erupted around the Makhmour camp housing Kurdish refugees from Turkey. The Iraqi army wants to strengthen security by building a fence to control the entrances and exits of the camp.
