US fighter aircraft have been deployed at the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey to help Ankara fight against the Islamic State (IS) group, US envoys to NATO have said.

The deployment, which came from the Aviano Air Base in Italy, includes 300 US military personnel.

Ankara and Washington agreed last month that the Incirlik base will be used by warplanes to attack IS positions.

Unidentified gunmen opened fire on Alevi-Bektashi Federation (ABF) head Baki Düzgün, his wife Yurdanur Düzgün and Alevi Culture Assoications (AKD) head Do?an Demir 80 kilometers northwest of the capital Ankara on Aug. 8, the second armed offensive against senior Alevi figures in a week.

Unarmed civilians were killed in a military airstrike by Turkey in the Zergele village of Iraqi Kurdistan, the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has said in a report, denying Ankara's claims to the contrary.

The Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP) co-leaders Selahattin Demirta? and Figen Yüksekda? have filed a request that the United Nations launch an inquiry into what they call ?unlawful and arbitrary executions? after the deadly suicide bomb attack in the border town of Suruç, the HDP Press Office said in a written statement on Aug. 6.

Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) rebels have bombed a railway line in Turkey's eastern province of Kars and then fired at repair workers, killing one, the BBC reported.

The attack, which took place on Thursday, is the latest in the surge in violence after a fragile two-year ceasefire between PKK and the Turkish government broke last week.

An armed attack on a police station in the southern Turkish province of Adana left two police officers and two Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants dead.

Around eight PKK militants armed with long-barreled guns attacked the police station in the town of Pozanti early on Friday.

The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants killed at least 12 police and army members since last week, after Turkey launched a two-pronged "war on terror" against PKK and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants.

Here is a chronology of events that started following a suspected ISIL suicide bombing in southeastern Turkey.
