Turkey airstrikes at areas of Northern Iraq, Syria to attack PKK

 On Wednesday, Turkey carried out airstrikes on PKK terrorist group. The airstrike included the places where they have their training camps, shelters, and ammunition storage. 

It was mostly around the parts of Northern Iraq and Syria. The attack was not a covert attempt rather Turkey's National Defense Ministry announced the attack themselves. 

According to the statement given by the Turkish Defense Ministry, the strikes have targeted some points at the Sinjar Mountains and in the Karacak region in northern Iraq. The Derik region in Syria has also witnessed airstrikes on Wednesday. 

The aim of this operation was to majorly control the activities at the Turkish border as there were security breaches in recent days which were confirmed to be terrorist threats and hence, the government was forced to take this action. 

"Terrorists' shelters, caves, tunnels, ammunition depots, and so-called headquarters and training camps were targeted," the ministry statement said. The operation was named Winter Eagle and it attacked the PKK in its Syrian branch YPG in Syria.
