At least 30 PKK terrorists were killed in airstrikes carried out by Turkish jets in northern Iraq Sunday, the military announced Monday.
According to a statement by the Turkish General Staff, warplanes carried out airstrikes in the country's Gara region, hitting two terrorist targets.
The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU -- resumed its decades-old armed campaign in July last year. Since then, more than 600 security personnel have been martyred and more than 7,000 PKK terrorists killed.
