E-mailBAGHDAD (Reuters) - A Turkish drone strike killed three people in northern Iraq on Wednesday, Iraqi Kurdish security sources and a local official said.
The sources said a vehicle was set on fire after a drone attack and three passengers were killed near Iraq's northern province of Sulaimaniya.
The identities of the casualties were not immediately clear, said the sources.
Turkey regularly carries out air strikes on PKK militants in northern Iraq and has dozens of outposts in the Iraqi territory.
The PKK launched an insurgency against Ankara in 1984 with the initial aim of creating an independent Kurdish state.
