Baghdad, July 20, 2022 (AFP) — Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi condemned artillery strikes blamed on Turkey that authorities said killed nine civilians Wednesday in the country's autonomous Kurdistan region as a "flagrant violation" of sovereignty.

"Turkish forces have perpetrated once more a flagrant violation of Iraqi sovereignty," he said on Twitter, condemning the harm caused to "the life and security of Iraqi citizens" and reserving Iraq's right to retaliate.
