Eight rockets fired at Turkish base in Iraq – Kurdish security group

Unidentified attackers fired eight rockets at a Turkish military base in northern Iraq, two of which landed inside, the Counter-Terrorism Group, a security organisation in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region, said. An Iraqi security source who declined to be identified said an Iraqi contractor in the base had been wounded. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in the early hours on the Zilkan base, which hosts Turkish troops in Ninevah province in northern Iraq.
