TURKISH jets launched major attacks on villages and guerilla bases across Iraqi Kurdistan over the past few days but failed to inflict any casualties, Kurdish resistance forces reported today.
Air strikes hit targets in the area known as the medya defence zones, part of the Qandil mountains in the north-west of Iraq, near the border with Iran.
The area is a sanctuary and headquarters for the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
