Following an attack on the premises of a key defense company in Ankara, Turkey has launched airstrikes against suspected Kurdish militant targets in Syria and Iraq for a second consecutive day. The strikes were carried out by the National Intelligence Organization, targeting strategic locations used by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Syrian Kurdish militia affiliated with the militants. The targets included military, intelligence, energy, and infrastructure facilities, as well as ammunition depots.

Armed drones were utilized in Thursday's strikes, which followed similar airstrikes conducted by Turkey's air force on Wednesday in northern Syria and northern Iraq. The aerial offensive resulted in the destruction of more than 30 targets, according to the defense ministry.
