Turkish warplanes have targeted terrorist positions in northern Iraq, Turkey's Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
The airstrikes carried out in the Sinat-Haftanin region destroyed weapon pits, shelters and arms depots used by the PKK terrorists, the ministry said in a Twitter post.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including many women and children.
