THE opposition pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) called for a ceasefire yesterday after Turkish jets blitzed Kurdish PKK militia in northern Iraq overnight.
Warplanes pounded about half a dozen positions of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), including the group’s mountainous stronghold in Qandil.
PKK spokesman Bakhtyar Dogan said that the air strikes had lasted for three hours and caused “a lot of damage.”
