Istanbul : The Turkish Army announced Saturday that its fighter jets bombed locations used by rebels of the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) in northern Iraq.
The Turkish Army Command said in a statement that its jets shelled the Kurdish mountainous areas of Zap, Basyan and Hakurk’taki in northern Iraq after tracking down PKK operatives attempting to infiltrate Turkish territories.
Turkish air force had shelled locations in northern Iraq on April 16 for the same reason.
In February, the Turkish Army had waged a large scale military operation in northern Iraq in which it eliminated 240 PKK operatives.
The Turkish-PKK conflict in the area has been ongoing for some 25 years and more than 40,000 people have been killed during this time.
