ANKARA (AA) - Turkish military conducted an air operation on terrorists' bases in northern Iraq's Sinjar and Karajak areas on Thursday, the Turkish Defense Ministry said in a statement.

According to the statement, the air operation was conducted to “neutralize” terrorists affiliated with PKK/KCK/PYD/YPG and other terror groups.

It said shelters, caves, tunnels and depots used by the terrorists were targeted in the operation, adding that maximum sensitivity was shown to avoid any harm to civilian population, their property and environment.

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. The YPG is its Syrian branch.
