PanARMENIAN.Net - An air offensive named "Panther operation" was
launched over the weekend by the Turkish army against militants of
the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the north of Iraq,
according to Hurriyet Daily News.
In the two-hour operation, Turkish F-16 jets that took off from
Diyarbakır bombarded PKK camps in northern Iraq, Kandil, Zap and
Hakurk. The targets were PKK militants who had passed to Iraqi side
of the border to find a safe place for the winter.
Several anti-aircraft batteries belonging to the PKK were eliminated,
the report says.
Additionally, five PKK militants were killed by the Turkish army in
clashes during another operation on Cudi Mountain on Saturday, Nov 3.
The PKK is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and
the EU.
