Turkish warplanes hit Kurdish militant targets in Iraq, Syria - defence minister

Turkish warplanes hit Kurdish militant targets, including training camps, shelters and ammunition storage areas in Iraq and northern Syria, the Turkish Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.

The air strikes are part of an ongoing Turkish campaign in Iraq and Syria against militants of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Syrian Kuridsh YPG militia, both of which Turkey regards as terrorist groups.

Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said on Wednesday that the operation had been successful and that "many terrorists" were killed.
