BAGHDAD, June 9 (Reuters) - Iraq's Foreign Ministry on Saturday accused Turkey of "intensively shelling" northern Iraq this week, adding it had handed the Turkish envoy in Baghdad a protest letter.

A statement from the Foreign Ministry said the shelling caused "huge damage" in an area between Dahuk and Arbil, 350 km (220 miles) north of Baghdad. A spokesman said the shelling took place over three hours late on Wednesday and early Thursday.
