Turkey bombs Kurdish rebel targets in Iraq

ISTANBUL: Turkey said its warplanes struck Kurdish separatist targets inside northern Iraq yesterday in what military sources called the biggest Turkish air operation in northern Iraq this year.

A Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) spokesman said the bombing had caused no casualties.

It was the second Turkish air strike this week on northern Iraq, which the PKK uses as a base from which to launch attacks in Turkey, after an operation on Wednesday.

The Turkish military tends to step up operations against the PKK in the spring when the snow melts, making it easier to move about in the mountainous region.
