The helicopter, which was struck hard, crashed. The crash site was then bombed by attack helicopters."

The Turkish occupation state is conducting fierce attacks against S. Kurdistan, with the complicity of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) authorities and the silence of the Iraqi federal government. The Turkish forces have occupied more than 70% of Dohuk province in S. Kurdistan.
