SULAIMANI— No one was hurt as two missiles targeted
Peshmerga frontlines in the Shekhan district of Ninawa province on Tuesday
night (June 22), the Kurdistan Region's Counter-Terrorism Directorate said on
the same day.
The directorate issued a statement on its Facebook saying
the attack targeted Nawaran Peshmerga frontlines and was carried out by
"the outlaw militias" in Bazwa area, between Kanin village and
Bashiqa.
No casualties or damage were reported, it added.
It said that one of the missiles fell on Mount Simreti in
Sheikhan district, while the other dropped in an area controlled by the federal
government in Bashiqa, falling short of reaching the Peshmerga frontlines.
Peshmerga commander, Adib Trwanshi, told local media
yesterday that one of the missiles hit the vicinity of an oil company.
He added that no damage was reported as it was about one
kilometre from the oilfield.
The Shaikan oil field, 60km north-west of Erbil, is one of
the largest oil fields in the Kurdistan Region, which is operated by Gulf
Keystone.
