Turkish Police Arrest 34 PKK Suspects Across Country
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Turkish combat jets carried out several strikes in northern Iraq on Tuesday, killing three militants of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, local media reported.

According to the Daily Sabah newspaper citing military sources, three weapons arsenals of the group were destroyed as well.

Tensions between Ankara and the Kurdish pro-independence PKK escalated in 2015, after a ceasefire between the two sides collapsed over a series of terror attacks allegedly committed by PKK members. The Turkish forces are currently involved in anti-PKK raids across the country, as well as against Kurdish positions in neighboring Syria and Iraq.
