An attack by two drones targeted a Turkish military base in Bamarni in the Iraqi Kurdistan region, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported Friday.

The attack was carried out in the north of Dohuk Province, Mehr quoted a source as saying, adding that the military forces stationed in the base downed the two drones.

No causalities were reported as a result of the attack.

According to Shafaq News agency, Turkey allegedly built the base in 1996 to fight the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

Iraq submits complaint to UNSC over Dohuk attack

It is noteworthy that on Wednesday, nine civilians, including at least two children, were killed and at least 23 were injured in a tourist resort in the region by artillery fire that Iraq blamed on Turkey.

While Baghdad condemned the shelling, Ankara denied responsibility for the attack and accused the PKK of responsibility for the bombing.

In response, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Thursday that Baghdad is moving to request a special session in the Security Council to issue an international resolution on the bombing of the northern Iraqi province of Dohuk that it blamed on Turkey.

In addition, the Iraqi Security Ministerial Council announced that it had submitted a complaint to the Security Council regarding the Dohuk attack.

Angry protests against Turkey

The deaths prompted angry demonstrations against Turkey in cities across Iraq.

On Wednesday, several Iraqi cities and governorates witnessed demonstrations condemning the targeting of civilians in the Dohuk bombing, where demonstrators burned Turkish flags and raised pictures criticizing Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In Baghdad, dozens of demonstrators protested outside the Turkish visa office early Thursday, as protesters chanted slogans demanding the expulsion of the Turkish Ambassador, an AFP journalist reported.
