“A group of border guards with the support of Peshmerga forces were going forward to control a strategic point at Darkar sub-district when two shots were fired. As a result, a Peshmerga was martyred,” Brig. Gen. Dler Zebari, a commander of Iraqi border guards, told Rudaw, a media group in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

On Saturday, five Peshmerga fighters were killed and 4 others injured when PKK members attacked a vehicle carrying Peshmerga forces in Al-Amadiya, Duhok.
