ARBIL, Iraq |
Sun Aug 21, 2011 10:37am EDT
ARBIL, Iraq (Reuters) - Seven Iraqis were killed in an air strike by a Turkish warplane in Iraq's semi-autonomous northern Kurdish zone Sunday, the first civilian casualties since the strikes began, a local mayor and eyewitnesses said.
The strike hit a car in which the civilians were traveling, Hassan Abdulla, mayor of the town of Qalat Dizah, located northeast of the city of Sulaimaniya, told Reuters.
"Today there was a rocket from a Turkish plane that hit a civilian vehicle, a pickup, carrying seven civilians. The seven were killed," Abdulla said.
"The rocket has badly damaged the car... We could not recognize the bodies, their ages, their identities or even their sex."
A Reuters witness said he saw six Turkish warplanes take off from a base in southeastern Turkey Sunday morning but it was not immediately clear where the planes were headed.
Turkish warplanes have been targeting Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels from Wednesday following increased attacks by the guerrilla forces in southeastern Turkey.
The Turkish air strikes are the first against rebels in the mountains of northern Iraq in more than a year and mark a sudden escalation of the 27-year-old conflict after the collapse of efforts to negotiate a settlement.
The Turkish General Staff has issued statements on its website confirming three consecutive nights of air strikes on northern Iraq starting Wednesday night.
The last statement appeared Saturday morning. There did not appear to have been any air strikes Saturday night.
