Iraqi airspace cleared for Turkish fighter jets

The U.S.-controlled airspace of Iraq has been cleared for Turkish fighter jets. The Turkish war minister publicly boasts that settlement areas 200 kilometers from the border have been bombed by 20 fighter jets. The Turkish state’s bombing of the border region in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) has long since become routine. Air strikes on Qamishlo, Shengal and the Asos Mountains near Sulaymaniyah, 200 kilometers from the Turkish-Iraqi border, are now part of everyday life. The airspace controlled by the U.S. and Iraq has been cleared for Turkish fighter jets. Houses have been bombed in the town of Şarbajar. According to local administrator Şaho Osman, the villages of Rengîne and Şêxil Marênî were attacked by aircraft and one house was hit. There were no fatalities or injuries, only property damage.
