ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – At least one Peshmerga was martyred as a result of an attack by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) on Sunday night at a checkpoint in the Kurdistan Region’s Duhok province.
The attack occurred as a group of PKK militants crossed a checkpoint manned by Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga forces in Amedi’s Derish village and opened fire on the stationed Peshmerga forces, resulting in one death among them, according to an informed source in the area.
The clashes between the forces took an hour before it settled down, the source told Kurdistan 24.
