TURKEY faced a major backlash today after at least nine people, including children, were killed in a missile strike on a tourist resort in Iraqi Kurdistan’s Duhok province on Wednesday.

Dozens more were injured as Turkish artillery fire hit holidaymakers enjoying the summer sun in the village of Parakhe. 

The youngest victim was one-year-old Zahra Hamza.
