ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Turkish warplanes struck Kurdish militant targets in northern Iraq on Sunday night, a security source told Reuters, and Turkey’s Defence Ministry confirmed that its jets had launched an operation.
“The Claw-Eagle Operation has started. Our planes are bringing the caves down on the terrorists’ heads,” the ministry said in a statement, announcing the latest in a series of operations targeting Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants.
