128 Turkish strikes on Duhok in one week
Shafaq News/ The Turkish military carried out 128 artillery attacks over the past week in the border areas of Al-Amediya (Amedi) district in Iraq's Kurdistan region, a member of the Community Peace Builders Team said on Friday. In a statement, Kamiran Othman explained that since May 24, the Turkish army launched 83 strikes on Mount Nizarki, within the boundaries of the Shiladze sub-district. 'All the attacks targeted a specific area that has been subjected to daily shelling,' Othman said, adding that 45 strikes in the past week hit villages in the Bire Gari area within the Deraluk sub-district. He confirmed that while no civilian casualties have been reported, the ongoing bombardment has sparked widespread fear and unrest among residents in the affected border regions. Earlier this month, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) announced its dissolution and an end to its four-decade armed conflict with Turkiye. PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, who has been serving a life sentence in a Turkish prison since 1999, reportedly instructed all armed groups to lay down their weapons and disband, through messages delivered by Turkish lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party during a prison visit.

Iraqi airstrike kills 6 ISIS militants in Kikuk
Shafaq News/ The Iraqi army killed six ISIS militants in an airstrike in Wadi al-Shay, a mountainous area in Kirkuk, the Joint Operations Command (JOC) announced on Friday. The JOC revealed in a statement that the strike destroyed the site where the militants had taken shelter. The Federal Intelligence and Investigations Agency tracked the group continuously and provided targeting data to the Joint Operations Command. A source clarified to Shafaq News that the airstrike hit a rugged area within the Daquq district of Saladin province, approximately 50 kilometers south of Kirkuk province. Earlier this month, a security source reported to Shafaq News that Iraqi Air Force carried out a series of airstrikes bombarding Islamic State (ISIS) positions in the Baiji district of Saladin province. Although Iraq declared victory over ISIS in 2017, remnants of the group continue to operate in remote regions, particularly in Saladin, Kirkuk, and Diyala provinces. Security forces frequently launch targeted operations to prevent the group from regrouping.
