Turkish air strikes hit eight PKK hideouts in northern Iraq
Turkish warplanes conducted a pinpoint strike against eight PKK caves and hideouts in northern Iraq on Wednesday, the third cross border operation in 10 days. No rebel deaths were reported, with Ankara claiming over 200 targets hit since December 16 and ground troops deployed on December 18 as part of a broader campaign to quell the Kurdish insurgency. The conflict has killed tens of thousands and drew Western concerns about regional stability.
