Turkish Jets Hit Kurdish Militant Targets in Iraq and Syria After Attack on Defense Company
ai generated text
Turkey's military launched airstrikes on sites in Iraq and Syria linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a group considered a "terrorist" organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU. The strikes targeted 32 sites, with the Ministry of National Defense stating that "all kinds of precautions" were taken to prevent harm to civilians. The PKK has been fighting a 40-year-long rebellion against Turkey, and the group has not claimed responsibility for the attack on TUSAS. The interior minister stated that two of the injured individuals are in critical condition.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the victims.
Our noble nation should rest assured that we will continue with increasing determination our struggle to eliminate the evil forces that threaten the security and peace of our country and people until the last terrorist disappears from this geography.
The style of the act shows that it is highly likely the PKK that carried out the attack. Once identification is completed and other evidence become clearer, we will share more concrete information with you.
Sadly, we have five martyrs and 22 wounded in the attack. Three of the injured were already discharged from hospital, 19 of them under treatment.
Turkish drones are a major game changer in the Turkish counterterrorism effort. Therefore, targeting it has a huge symbolic meaning.
I called my brother who was inside and said, 'What happened?' He said a bomb had exploded and said that gunshots continued for a very long time.
There was a huge commotion. The gendarmerie, special forces and other security forces were all here. There were lots of ambulances. Then the phones shut off and I wasn't able to establish communication.
