Turkey: New air strikes on Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) rebels in Iraq
Turkey’s military has confirmed further air strikes against Kurdish rebel bases in northern Iraq.
It said nine attacks were carried out by Turkish aircraft on hideouts of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), mostly in the Qandil region.
Last Wednesday the military said it had carried out similar strikes, a day after eight Turkish soldiers and 26 PKK rebels were killed in clashes.
The air strikes come amid Turkey’s row with Syria over a downed Turkish jet.
