Rocket attack on Turkish military base in Mosul, IraqIraqi media reported that the Zelikan military base in Mosul, Iraq, was targeted by three rockets.

According to official sources, the Zelikan base in northern Iraq is home to Turkish troops.

Turkey has long been violating the territorial integrity of northern Iraq by claiming to oppose the PKK. The PKK, which has been at loggerheads with the Ankara government for the past 35 years, is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.

Ankara says Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants are responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 Turkish citizens, including women and children. On the other hand, hundreds of villages have been evacuated due to Turkish attacks in northern Iraq.

Turkey has launched several military operations since last April under the pretext of fighting the PKK in northern Iraq, and is easily talking about a possible attack on the Sinjar region in western Nineveh province. This has been met with a reaction from Iraqi political and military groups.
