Turkey: Military hit Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) terrorists in north Iraq and southeast Turkey
Eight PKK terrorists have been killed in Turkish airstrikes in the country’s southeastern and eastern provinces, and in northern Iraq, the military said yesterday.
The Turkish General Staff in a message on Twitter confirmed that its fighter jets carried out airstrikes in northern Iraq’s Zap region, and in the rural areas of southeastern Şırnak and eastern Van provinces during the weekend.
Since March, Turkey has intensified operations against the terrorist PKK in northern Iraq - particularly in the Qandil mountains region, where the group’s headquarters are located.
Turkish security forces have so far advanced almost 30 kilometers into northern Iraq, while nearly 200 terrorists have been killed in recent airstrikes on PKK targets in the region.
