The strikes, which took place late Tuesday evening, targeted a village in the region of Qalat Dizah, in Sulaimaniyah province in the northern Kurdistan region.

"The person killed was a young man, and one of the two wounded is in critical condition and was transferred to Sulaimaniyah hospital," said Hayman Beirut, head of the Qalat Dizah hospital, referring to the province's eponymous capital.

Turkey's parliament last month extended for another year the government's mandate to order military strikes against Kurdish rebels holed up in neighbouring Iraq.

Ankara has given the Turkish military the green light to conduct cross-border raids to hit the suspected bases of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) since 2007.

About 45,000 people have been killed since the PKK, which is blacklisted as a terrorist organisation by Ankara and much of the international community, took up arms for autonomy in Kurdish-majority southeastern Turkey in 1984.
