Turkey is continuing its push into Kurdish areas of Iraq, now targeting Sinjar, which will be key to controlling the Syrian-Iraqi-Turkish border triangle.
The Turkish air force targeted the Sinjar Resistance Units (YBS), a Yazidi militia, Jan. 15 in Iraq’s Ninevah province.
Media reports said at least four people were killed, including militia commander Zardasht Shingali, and one person was wounded.
The YBS is affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which Turkey considers a terrorist group.
