TEHRAN, Oct. 19 (MNA) – Sources in the Iraqi Kurdistan region on Sunday reported that 22 PKK members were killed during a drone attack conducted by the Turkish military in the Iraqi Sinjar region.

Ankara has received widespread criticism from both Iraqi and Kurdish authorities in Bagdhad and Erbil as well as the international community for violating Iraqi sovereignty under the pretext of fighting the PKK.

Baghdad has called Turkey's attacks an example of aggression against Iraqi territory and demanded the withdrawal of its troops from northern Iraq.
