Turkey continues attacks against Kurds in Syria and Iraq
TURKEY struck suspected Kurdish militant targets in Syria and Iraq for a second day today following an attack on the premises of a key defence company which killed at least five people, the state-run news agency reported.
The National Intelligence Organisation targeted what were described as “strategic locations” used by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) or by the Syrian Kurdish militias that are affiliated with the militants, the Anadolu Agency reported.
The targets included military, intelligence, energy and infrastructure facilities and ammunition depots, the report said. A security official said that armed drones were used in Thursday’s strikes.
