Between around 11:00-11:30 PM on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, an alleged Turkish drone strike on the village of Bari and the residential complex Digor (Dokri) in the Shingal District of Iraqi Kurdistan injured a woman named Enstar Khodada Ali Murad in Digor and another civilian in Bari.

Roj News reported that the strike on Digor resulted in a minor injury to Enstar Khodada Ali Murad while in Bari, an Arab citizen was injured.

While Roj News provided the most thorough account of the strikes, Hawar News also reported that the Turkish strikes targeted Bari and Digor, with the latter injuring a woman named Enstar. This account claimed the bombings took place at 11:30 PM, while Roz News put the time as 11 PM.

The Iraqi outlet Al Awal News, citing government and security sources, alleged that the Turkish strikes targeted PKK sites but noted that the toll of the strikes was unclear. Al Awal cited reports by the “Gra satellite channel”, which it called “close to the Workers Party,” that a woman was injured in the strike on a residential building in Digor.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military. The sources conflicted on the nature of the strike, some claiming that it was a drone attack while others mentioned an airstrike.
