ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - One person was injured when an unidentified drone fell from the sky in the Amedi district of northern Duhok province, a local source told Rudaw.
“As the result of the drone crash, a 25-year-old man, Wahbi Sadiq, was injured and is currently being treated at Amedi hospital,” Karzan Mahdi, from Deraluk subdistrict in Amedi, told Rudaw's Ayub Nasri.
“We do not know who the drone belongs to but there is ongoing conflict between the Turkish army and the PKK in the area,” he added, referring to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
Footage obtained by Rudaw English shows the moment of an explosion in an open area where many people are present.
Turkey often targets locations within Duhok’s borders claiming to strike PKK positions. Numerous villages have been vacated and many villagers are not allowed to visit their orchards in these areas.
