Istanbul, Turkey – Turkey’s armed forces have launched air raids targeting the the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and its affiliates in three areas of northern Syria and Iraq, defence minister Hulusi Akar said.
Ankara said the attacks were launched against positions occupied by the PKK, the People’s Protection Units (YPG) who it views as a PKK affiliate, and other “outlawed groups” in the northern Syrian area of Derik and the northern Iraqi regions of Sinjar and Karacak.
