ANKARA (AA) - Turkish airstrikes on Monday destroyed ammunition depots and shelters of the terrorist PKK in northern Iraq, officials announced.

The strikes were aimed at terrorist PKK targets in the Zap and Gara regions, said a National Defense Ministry statement.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women and children.
