TURKISH missiles struck two cars in the Yazidi town of Shengal in northern Iraq today as pressure from the Iraqi army and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) continues.
The attack was launched by Turkish drones in the Shilo Valley region at around 3.30pm local time. Two victims travelling in the cars were named as YBS Commander Azad Ezdin and YBS fighter Enver Tolhildan.
“God help us. We’ll never be set free,” a woman was heard saying in video footage at the scene of the attack
