Citing local sources, Rojnews reported that Turkish warplanes bombarded Mount Garê Mountain in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

According to the report, the bombardment is still ongoing, while there is no information about possible casualties.

The Turkish state escalated its genocidal attacks across Kurdistan territory thanks to international silence and inaction in the face of its crimes against the Kurdish people. The invading Turkish state has been escalating its attacks against civilian settlements in South Kurdistan, especially since April 2022. While the increasingly ongoing attacks have killed many civilians, dozens of villages have been evacuated.

According to the Community Peacemaker Teams (CPT) in Iraq, 11 people were killed as the result of Turkish attacks on South Kurdistan in 2023.

According to the CPT, 5 citizens lost their lives and 3 citizens were injured in Duhok in 2023, while in Hewlêr, 1 citizen lost his life and 8 citizens were injured. In the city of Sulaymaniyah, 5 citizens lost their lives and 2 citizens were injured.
