Turkish artillery targets PKK sites in Iraqi Kurdistan
Turkish forces shelled three suspected Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) positions in northern Duhok on Wednesday, a local security source told Shafaq News.
The strikes hit areas along the slopes of Gara Mountain and near the village of Kavne Mezha in Al-Amadiya District, damaging nearby farmland and forested terrain, the source reported.
No casualties have been confirmed.
Turkiye has continued its operations against PKK positions despite a recent appeal by Abdullah Ocalan, the group's imprisoned leader, to end the decades-long armed campaign and shift toward democratic political engagement.
On March 1, 2025, the group declared a unilateral ceasefire, which Ankara has since welcomed.

Iraq's top court to hear key cases on delayed Kurdistan salaries
Also in Iraq Over 700 daily overflights as Iraqi airspace fully recovers post-tensions Iraqi ministerial committee on Erbil-Baghdad budget issues holds first meeting President Barzani, Iraq security advisor discuss PKK disarmament, Iran border pact US urges resolution as Erbil, Baghdad draft proposals to end salary, oil disputes A+ A- Erbil, Kurdistan Region - Iraq's Federal Supreme Court is set to review two critical lawsuits on Monday concerning the delayed disbursement of salaries for public employees in the Kurdistan Region. The cases aim to decouple salary payments from the ongoing financial and political disputes between Baghdad and Erbil. Soran Omar, a member of the Iraqi parliament from the Kurdistan Justice Group (Komal), told Rudaw on Thursday that the court's upcoming schedule includes hearings for 'two cases related to the Kurdistan Region.' The first lawsuit, he said, 'demands that the salary issue be treated as a standalone matter, separate from political disputes and operational expenditures,' and names both Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani and Finance Minister Taif Sami as defendants. The second lawsuit focuses on "the issuance of executive orders regarding the salaries of public employees in the Kurdistan Region," Omar said, noting the strong possibility that the court may issue rulings on both cases during Monday's session. Tensions between Erbil and Baghdad escalated in late May when Iraq's federal finance ministry halted all budget transfers to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), including payments for over 1.2 million public employees. The ministry accused the KRG of exceeding its 12.67 percent allocation of the 2025 federal budget and failing to deliver its agreed share of oil to Baghdad. In early June, the Federal Supreme Court announced that it had received multiple complaints from Kurdistan Region public servants seeking an injunction to ensure the continued and timely payment of their salaries. These complaints cited earlier court rulings mandating both the federal government and the KRG to guarantee regular salary payments for public sector employees, retirees, and social welfare recipients, irrespective of political disputes. However, the hearings were postponed amid internal upheaval at the Federal Supreme Court. Last week, Judge Munther Hussein was sworn in as the new head of the Federal Supreme Court, just days after his formal appointment by Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid, following the retirement of former Chief Justice Jassim al-Umairi. Umairi's retirement - officially attributed to "health reasons" - came after a wave of resignations from within the court, with six of the nine permanent members and three reserve members stepping down in mid-June, reportedly in direct protest against his leadership. Following Hussein's appointment, the resigned judges rescinded their resignations. These developments have raised hopes that the court will now address the urgent issue of unpaid public servant salaries in the Kurdistan Region. For its part, the Federal Supreme Court on Wednesday confirmed it would hear a case requesting it compel the federal finance ministry to guarantee the 'monthly and uninterrupted' payment of salaries to public employees in the Kurdistan Region, regardless of political disputes or other hindrances, in line with the provisions of Iraq's federal budget law. The lawsuit also seeks an executive order mandating that the ministry resume timely salary payments for civil servants "from this month onward - until a final resolution is reached on the matter." That same day, the court will also consider a separate lawsuit calling for a clear legal separation between the salaries of Kurdistan Region public employees and broader political and fiscal disputes. Both lawsuits are scheduled for their first hearings on Monday, July 14.

Iraq committed to ending Kurdistan salary deadlock
Shafaq News – Erbil/Baghdad The Iraqi government is determined to end the ongoing salary crisis in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq's National Security Advisor Qassim al-Araji revealed Thursday. Speaking during a visit to the graves of Kurdish leader Mullah Mustafa Barzani and his son Idris Barzani, al-Araji confirmed Baghdad's 'serious commitment' to financial justice for public employees in the Region, emphasizing the need to resolve disagreements between Erbil and Baghdad 'under the constitution and applicable laws.' While describing the issue as a priority for the Iraqi government, he pointed to the formation of a high-level ministerial committee to fast-track the resolution. The dispute escalated in May after Baghdad linked wage disbursements to Erbil's full handover of oil exports to the state-run SOMO company and stricter controls over non-oil revenues. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) rejected the terms, arguing they exceeded the scope of earlier agreements and insisting it had already met its obligations. To break the impasse, a KRG delegation arrived in Baghdad on Monday for talks. According to MP Sabah Sobhi of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), these high-level meetings will soon resolve the salary and oil file.

Over 700 daily overflights as Iraqi airspace fully recovers post-tensions
Also in Iraq Iraqi ministerial committee on Erbil-Baghdad budget issues holds first meeting President Barzani, Iraq security advisor discuss PKK disarmament, Iran border pact US urges resolution as Erbil, Baghdad draft proposals to end salary, oil disputes Iraqi cabinet stalls on KRG salaries, forms committee to address Erbil-Baghdad issues A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Major international airlines are returning to Iraqi airspace, leading to a record number of overflights, Iraq's transport ministry announced Wednesday. Officials say the development reflects renewed confidence in Iraq's air navigation capabilities and the full recovery of its airspace following recent regional tensions. According to a Wednesday statement by the ministry, airlines such as Air France, Russia's Red Wings, Uzbekistan Airways, and Air India have resumed using Iraqi airspace. New international cargo and private carriers from Austria, Turkey, and San Marino are also now flying over the country regularly. Abbas al-Baydani, director of Iraq's General Company for Air Navigation Services (GCANS), said the return of global carriers "clearly demonstrates the enhanced trust of global airlines in Iraqi airspace, reflecting our technical and regulatory readiness in accordance with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO].' Baydani noted that overflights now exceed 700 aircraft per day - the highest level of aviation traffic Iraq has ever recorded. For his part, Mudhar Thamer, director of Air Traffic Management at GCANS, said the increase is being managed with 'the highest levels of efficiency in determining routes and altitudes to ensure air traffic safety.' The ministry described the recovery as a vital step toward revitalizing the country's aviation sector and reaffirming Iraq's strategic aerial position in the region. Air traffic across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region officially resumed on June 24, ending a 10-day closure prompted by the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Iran on June 13. Tensions spiked after Israeli airstrikes in Iran killed senior military commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on Israel. The situation escalated further on June 22 when the United States struck three Iranian nuclear sites. Tehran retaliated by launching a missile strike on a US base in Qatar. A ceasefire, brokered by Washington, was reached two days later. The Israel-Iran conflict led to a full closure of Iraqi and Kurdistan Region airspace. Dilan Rashad, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) transport ministry, then told Rudaw the 10-day suspension resulted in the cancellation of 1,283 flights across the Region's airports.
