to invade northern Iraq in order to chase Kurdistan Workers’ Party

there already are reports of Turkish troop activity
near Sidikan.

violence:
Two civilians were killed and three were wounded at a fake checkpoint in the Zab area.
Militants near a Dibis checkpoint killed one security member and wounded two more.
