Ankara: Turkish warplanes and artillery have targeted Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq this weekend, the Turkish army said on Saturday.
The strikes, on Friday and Saturday, targeted a group of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) rebels in the Zap, Avashin and Khakurk regions who were trying to penetrate the border for attacks on Turkey, the general staff said in a statement.
PKK spokesman Ahmad Danis claimed the Turkish military was planning a fresh cross-border military incursion into northern Iraq.
