ANKARA (AA) – Turkish warplanes destroyed PKK targets in northern Iraq on Saturday, the military said.
In a statement, the Turkish General Staff said four F-16 and six F-4 jets carried out the raids on positions in Sinath, Haftanin and Metina between midnight and 2 a.m. local time (2100 and 2300GMT Friday). A pair of F-16s later attacked targets in Metina.
The statement did not provide detail on the number or nature of the targets.
The PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU – resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July. Since then, more than 400 members of the security forces have been martyred and more than 3,700 PKK terrorists killed.
