In the aftermath of a suicide bombing in the capital Ankara, Turkey has conducted air strikes in northern Iraq, targeting 20 locations linked to the Kurdish militant group PKK. The PKK claimed responsibility for the bombing that left two police officers injured just hours before the parliament’s reopening after a three-month summer recess.

Turkey’s interior minister, Ali Yerlikaya, reported that two terrorists carried out the attack. One died in the explosion, while the other was killed in a subsequent shoot-out with the police. The Euphrates News Agency released a statement indicating that the airstrike successfully destroyed caves, bunkers, and warehouses associated with the responsible terrorists.
