Turkey strikes PKK targets in Iraq after deadly attack on Ankara aerospace company

Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Turkish warplanes attacked nearly three dozen targets of a Kurdish militant organization in northern Iraq and Syria, Ankara's ministry of defense said late Wednesday, as it responded to a terrorist attack that killed five people and injured many others earlier in the day.

The Ministry of Defense statement, carried by Turkish-state run Anadolu news agency, reported that 32 targets were destroyed and a number of militants were "neutralized" in the air operation.
