TEHRAN, Jun. 25 (MNA) – Local Iraqi media reported on Sunday that Turkish fighter jets conducted new airstrikes in an area in Erbil province in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

There were no immediate reports of any casualties or material damages as a result of the airstrikes.

The Iraqi sources also announced on Saturday that Turkish warplanes or drones bombarded Mount Matin and Naheel region in Amedi Distrcit in Dohuk province in northern Iraq.

Local sources cited residents in those areas as saying that the airstrikes took place at 12:15 Erbil local time on Saturday and targeted the Metin mountain range and the mountainous areas behind Blafa village.

The Turkish fighters also bombed the Metin and Kare mountain ranges in Amedi District on June 3.

Turkey conducts airstrikes on areas in northern Iraq in its alleged campaign against the PKK. The Iraqi government has condemned Turkish military operations on its soil as violating its national sovereignty.
