Turkish war planes and the Iranian artilleries have resumed their assaults on the border areas of Kurdistan region forcing dozens of families to escape their homes for their safety.

Turkish military on Wednesday reported that their warplanes “carried out bombing raids against PKK targets in northern Iraq”

“The planes had returned safely after hitting the terror organization PKK hideouts in the Qandil mountains on Tuesday afternoon” declared a Turkish military statement posted on its website.

The statement made no mention of PKK losses, while stressing that measures were taken to prevent “any damage to the civilian population of the region”.

Meanwhile, sources from the border areas of Kurdistan region along with Iran reported that the Islamic republic artilleries in the last 24hours heavily bombarded several villages under the pretext of chasing the guerrillas of PJAK, a newly formed Kurdish armed organization fighting for the rights of Kurdish people in that country.

According to the sources, the assaults caused heavy damage to the areas and forced dozens of Kurdish families to flee their homes heading to the more secure areas.
