Turkey has launched a fresh wave of airstrikes against Kurdish militants in northern Iraq, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today, part of an ongoing effort to weaken and destroy the group known as the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
Addressing a campaign rally in the central Anatolian Nigde province, Erdogan said, “We’ve started anti-terror operations in Qandil and Sinjar. We have destroyed 14 important targets with our aircraft. … The [job] is not finished yet.”
