Airstrikes destroy ammunition depots, weapon emplacement of terror group in Zap region, Turkish military says
Turkish jets have destroyed ammunition depots and weapon emplacement of the PKK terrorist group in northern Iraq, the military announced on Monday.
According to Turkish General Staff, the airstrikes targeted PKK camps in Zap region when terrorists were preparing for an attack.
Airstrikes on PKK targets in southeast Turkey and northern Iraq, where the terror group has its main base in the Qandil region near the Iranian border, have been carried out regularly since July 2015, when the PKK resumed its armed campaign.
The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of more than 1,200 Turkish security personnel and civilians, including a number of women and children.
