TWO children were killed and at least 10 injured in a Turkish air strike on Amedi district in Iraqi Kurdistan on Thursday evening as the international silence continues. 

Video footage appeared to show Kurdish villagers fleeing a Turkish drone attack in which a five-year-old child and a 14-year-old boy were killed. 

A six-year-old child was among those injured in the bombardment and was taken to a hospital in Bamarne.
