Turkish drone kills two Sinjar Resistance Units fighters

ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – On the road between Sinjar and Giruzer this afternoon, a Turkish drone struck a vehicle of the Sinjar Resistance Units (also known as YBŞ).

Two YBŞ fighters in the vehicle were killed and another wounded, according to preliminary reports.

Also on Feb. 20, two individuals were killed, and one person was injured in an airstrike carried out by a Turkish warplane on a village located in the Dinarta subdistrict of Duhok's Akre district.

Turkey has launched several large-scale ground operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the Kurdistan Region’s mountainous areas since 2021.

Tens of thousands have been killed on both sides in armed conflict since the mid-1980s, including civilians.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by the United States, Turkey, and the EU, among other countries. So far, efforts by sympathizers of the group to delist it have failed.
