Turkish fighter jets killed at least seven PKK terrorists during a counter-terrorism operation in northern Iraq, the National Defence Ministry said on Tuesday morning.
The PKK has at least seven bases in Iraq and Turkey has conducted operations targeting these bases in the past. The PKK’s leadership is mainly based in Iraq’s Qandil mountains, which has a symbolic importance for the group. The PKK attacks, including car bombs and suicide attacks in urban Turkey, were directed from the headquarters.On July 13, Turkey launched Operation Claw-2 as a follow-up on the successfully ongoing Claw-1, which revealed new information on terrorist activities, according to the ministry.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK, listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and the EU, has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
