The Iraqi government called on Turkey on Saturday to apologize for what it said was an attack on Sulaymaniyah airport in northern Iraq, saying Ankara must cease hostilities on Iraqi soil.
The Iraqi presidency said in a statement that Turkey had no legal justification to continue "intimidating civilians under the pretext that forces hostile to it are present on Iraqi soil".
A Turkish defence ministry official told Reuters no Turkish Armed Forces operation took place in that region on Friday. A U.S. official confirmed there was a strike on a convoy in the area and U.S. military personnel were in it, but there were no casualties.
