Turkish warplanes carried out airstrikes on the villages of Meçi (Mêcî) and Burçiyan (Burciyan) in the Amedi (Amêdiyê) region of Iraqi Kurdistan on Saturday, according to local sources.

The strikes resulted in a large fire that has spread across the area, causing significant damage to homes and agricultural lands.

The fire, which broke out following the airstrikes, has yet to be contained. Local residents are reportedly unable to approach the fire due to the ongoing threat of further attacks.

The airstrikes made the local population afraid to go out, preventing them from attempting to extinguish the flames. The extent of the damage is still being assessed, but reports indicate that the fire has caused severe losses to both property and farmland in the region.
