IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — An airstrike on a military airport in northern Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region killed three people Monday, local officials said. The region’s counter-terrorism service said in a statement that the attack on the Arbat Airport, 28 kilometers southeast of the city of Sulaymaniyah killed three of its personnel and injured three members of the Kurdish Peshmerga forces. The counter-terrorism service did not blame the attack on any party, but a statement from the Sulaymaniyah governorate in a statement implied that the strike was carried out by Turkey.
