A bomb wounded four militiamen in Saniya.
Seven militants were killed in Jallaiyat airstrikes.
Two strikes on Hamrim left three militants dead. Security forces killed a militant.
Two Turkish soldiers were killed, and four more were wounded during an operation against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (P.K.K.)
A Turkish drone killed two P.K.K. members in Sinjar.
