Two soldiers martyred in northern Iraq: Turkish military

Two soldiers were martyred in Iraq’s northern Zap region, the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) said on Monday.

Eight Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK) terrorists were neutralized in the air operation targeting the terror camps in the region.

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.
