Turk airstrike hits Kurd rebel targets in Iraq
Turkish planes bombed Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq, the military said yesterday, following a spate of militant attacks on Turkish soil.
"Separatist terrorist organisation targets were hit by Turkish Armed Forces planes last night in Northern Iraq, notably in the Qandil mountain and Hakurk region," the army said.
The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has bases in northern Iraq, from where it launches attacks on Turkish troops and military installations. More than 50 soldiers have been killed as a result of PKK attacks over the last several months.
