Turkish Military Says Kills 13 Kurdish Terrorists in Northern Iraq
Turkey’s military killed 13 members of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in air strikes in northern Iraq on Sunday, the military said in a statement.
The warplanes struck seven PKK targets in the Avasin-Basyan region of northern Iraq, and killed terrorists believed to be preparing for an attack, the military said.
In a separate air strike in Turkey’s southeastern province of Van late on Saturday, the military said warplanes had killed another 10 PKK terrorists.
The PKK, which has carried out a three-decade insurgency in southeast Turkey, has camps in the mountains of northern Iraq, near the Turkish border. It is considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
