Turkish warplanes bombed terrorist PKK targets in northern Iraq on Monday, an Iraqi local official said.
Azad Wassu, mayor of the Iraqi town of Zarawa close to the Qandil mountains in northern Iraq’s border area, told Reuters he had no details of whether anyone had been wounded or infrastructure damaged.
Turkish warplanes and Iranian artillery bombarded PKK hideouts in northern Iraq, AFP also reported on Monday citing a member of the terror organization, PKK.
“Turkish planes and Iranian artillery bombarded Aquwan and the Iranians bombarded Maradu. The bombardment lasted for about one hour starting from 7pm (1600 GMT),” the PKK member told AFP.
Turkey and Iran have been long fighting against the terrorist movements operated by both the PKK and its Iranian wing PEJAK.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by Ankara and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.
