Turkish jets hit PKK terror targets in northern Iraq

Turkish fighter jets hit PKK terrorist targets in northern Iraq, the National Defense Ministry said Friday.

The Turkish airstrikes destroyed weapon positions, shelters, and ammunition depots used by PKK terrorists in the Zap, Avasin-Basyan and Hakurk region, the ministry said on Twitter.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women and children.
